Maybe such a thing isn't even possible (I'd like to see that proof). But it seems like an interesting pursuit, in the sense that if a good argument exists that religious belief is justified, then there's at least a possible way to justify religious belief.
If religion were right, there would be no need for apologetics. Apologetics is not the art of searching for the truth. Apologetics is the art of taking a preconceived ideology and looking for reasons to believe it.
