There is one other card you can play that might work. Grandkids. Tell them that while there is no chance you'll ever be a believer, you sure would like your kids to grow up in a loving relationship with their grandparents. You sure would hope your kids would see that while you believe different things, you're still all family who love and respect each other .. yada, yada, guilt, veiled threat.
