Arguing w/ Religious Friends

Arguing w/ Religious Friends
What is the best way to argue with religious friends and even try to dissuade them of their religion without losing them as a friend or overly offending them? What are your top 5 arguments against religion and strategies for debating religion? I need to watch some more debates with Sam Harris and Dawkins.

Mine are (still working on them):
1. No proof of God or miracles.
2. Science has disproven many religious claims.
3. Most religions are over 1,000 years old. We have learned so much since then.
4. God loves you but will send you to eternal hellfire if he chooses.
5. There are too many religions for them all to be true.

Debating techniques:
1. Don't raise your voice
2. Don't attack the person
3. Don't interrupt them too much
