It's rather simple.
If your god really exists and really is a god, then he already knows what would convince me and/or any other atheist beyond all possible doubt or disagreement. Even if that was something different for each individual atheist (and it likely is). This would be no problem for an actual god. Somehow, he has not done so, ever.
Why?
Either
A) He/she/it/housecat does not exist at all.
B) He/she/it/housecat doesn't know how to do it, in which case is not much of a god.
C) He/she/it/housecat knows how to do it, but is not able to, in which case is not much of a god.
D) Doesn't want to do so, in which case is a bit of a bastard.
E) Has good reason not to do so, in which you are defying your god's plans by even attempting to convert anyone.
Posing that question is a losing proposition for you and your god no matter how you slice it.
