You may find that drive to wear off in time - it happened to me. The frustration of having intelligent and well educated people, many of whom I like and admire, still believing in magic, made it virtually impossible to keep my mouth shut.
However, after much reflection, I came to the conclusion that these people have been brainwashed, usually in childhood, and have become imprinted with God and Jebus in the same way as the geese on a nature programme have been imprinted with the micro-lite aircraft that they fly around following. In other words it is not their fault, and forcing them to undergo the contortions of logic necessary to reconcile what they are "imprinted" with to the real world doesn't do much good for anyone.
These days I restrict myself to a couple of bullet points like "If Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice why is He still alive ?"
