By your own logic, the tens of millions of adults that become Christians each year would suggest your general view is wrong. They were presented with "evidence". They were convinced. Process repeats.
And the rush of xtian parents to home school and completely control their child's social sphere is evidence that xtians understand just how weak their 'evidence' really is.
It is like a gang. Keep the kids (recruits) under your thumb until you can get them to recruit others (where gangs use murder). Once their hands are dirty, they'll defend the gang just like mom and dad .. except it isn't working so well.
