Has anyone discovered a successful way to make religious people atheist?

[Mudhammam]

I've observed over time that religious people do not use logic to defend their arguments. They may use logical fallacies or gotchya questions to try to back up their positions, but they know that there's no logical basis for the arguments that they try to make. So, it's difficult to argue with these people, because they don't think scientifically. Science is self scrutinizing and changes what it believes based on the new findings of it's studies. If someone isn't willing to open their mind up to new possibilities and eventually realize the absurdity, that there's really no logical reason to believe god exists, how could they ever become an atheist?

On a purely hypothetical basis, regardless of why you would want to change someone's beliefs, I pose this question. Why someone would want to change someone's beliefs is a matter of personal opinion, not everyone in the atheist community may even think that people should have their beliefs taken away. I firmly believe that to advance as a society we should try to make people think more critically, for a better well being of humanity. I believe that atheist thinkers have some of the strongest minds, I've observed this by listening to them and following atheist talk shows, which strike me as more intellectual and in tune with the world around them. This is to me, why striving for a more atheist world would be beneficial.

If I have learned anything from these forums, taking religion out of the equation doesn't translate into rational thought--which is what democratic society requires. The solution is more science, and more importantly, more philosophy. What sparked the scientific revolution? The Renaissance. What brought about the Renaissance? The humanist movement. What was the humanist movement? A rediscovery of the classics: The Greek and the Roman writers, steeped in the culture made possible by thinkers like Homer, Plato, and Aristotle.
