Peter Boghossian advocates taking one simple element of a belief system, and questioning that with the believer. (I think that "Street Epistemology" may have been coined by him. Anyone know?) So that you aren't attacking an actual belief or faith, but just questioning one illogical element. He said that people deserve dignity, but ideas do not. I don't have his book with me, I can post an example later this evening.

"The family that prays together...is brainwashing their children."- Albert Einstein
