When you understand your reasons for disbelieving in the claims of Hindus, you may perhaps be closer to understanding why many of us don't believe your claims either.

He'll never understand, because his thought process runs like this: "I don't believe in [insert any other religion], because I believe in [my religion]". It's very simple, as long as you are a simpleton.

"I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

I would say that certainly applies here.
You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!? [Image: TARDIS.gif]
