Can you think of one example of that ever happening?

People change their minds for their own reasons. When they finally change their minds it never seems to be by an atheist convincing them their belief was false... it's always in their own time and for their own reasons.

But their 'own time and their own reasons' doesn't really mean anything. You are, essentially, a product of your environment. You can't have any ideas in an intellectual vacuum.
