I think the problem is that both sides literally keep stating their belief/lack of belief in a way that ridicules the other side (most of the time). There's no traction in that.
Both sides need to put themselves where the other is at and understand where they're coming from. Only then can you respond with an argument that directly addresses the previous argument because you understand what the other has put forth on the table. Jumping to conclusions like 'why do you believe in fairy tales' and 'you can't prove God doesn't exist' achieve close to nothing.
