Can an Atheist argue someone out of faith?

I am of course biased, and perhaps I just don't connect with their way of thinking, so I would appreciate your recommendations.

I am atheist who while agreeing with the basics of what Dawkins, Dennett and Hitchens are arguing (the non-existence of god and religion being a natural phenomenon). I disagree with them on assumption that religion is always a bad thing for society.

Anyway I find a lot of the arguments of the well known Christian apologists (such as Lee Strobel, Ravi Zacharias, William Lane Craig, etc) to be actually quite weak and just same old arguments rehashed. Strobel for instance in his book Case for a Creator talked about the beginnings of life being a mystery that would not be solved, however very recently scientists created artificial life in a lab.
