You advocate countering Theism with logic and rationality. It's not that I dislike your idea but rather that this approach should be compounded with the medical community's acknowledgement that Theism is a delusion. Theists by definition reject rationality so logic simply bounces off of them like bullets off of Superman. This of course is also a common issue with people diagnosed as delusional. Rational argument alone simply does not work if the individual refuses or is unable to accept that they are delusional.
TBH though, I must admit that it is extremely unlikely that the medical definition for delusion is going to be changed any time soon. I honestly don't see that happening in my lifetime and it's really mostly just wishful thinking on my part. But just knowing that there are others who feel the same as I do is at least somewhat encouraging...
