Theists are pretty beyond help until they realize on their own how full of shite their beliefs are. Either they have the kind of mind required to develop enough rational doubts, or they don't.
Yeah, you can try to convince them that their beliefs are nonsense, but their likelihood of responding properly is based on them being the right kind of rational person I mentioned above anyways. And often, when you try to help, they actually double down and believe harder, if anything.
If someone is like Huggy, who can read the Bible and not see even one contradiction in it when it's absolutely chock full of them... then that person is very very much beyond help.
