The religionist will be more confrontational because they already have doubts and are afraid that they might be forced to face them. I can't tell you how to express your thoughts effectively, it's a learning processes, and one thing you have learned in this discussion is to know your audience. If you can understand why they might be resistive to your logical arguments that's the first step in finding ways to get past their defenses. As for improving your statements, look closely at the feedback, both positive and negative, and try to use that feedback to improve your presentation. The more receptive you are to criticism the more you will get, and the more opportunity to hone your communication skills. (I love criticism, don't get nearly as much as I used to, kinda miss it.)
