Pineapple,
Sort of yes but there is an element of attempting to open a person's eyes to the fact that they might be fooled or worse, fooling themselves.
In some ways it reminds me of the old logic story of the 3 philosophers asleep under a tree. A joker comes round and paints their faces. When they awake they each start laughing at the others and then suddenly stop when they realize that their own face must be painted - all entirely through logic of course.
To that end the most powerful argument should be that followers of another faith claim the same extraordinary interventions by their God as is claimed by each and every one of these faiths. As followers of one faith are very strong on the idea that all other faiths (and even variants of their own) are wrong they must face the probability that all followers are equally deluded. This is self evident to the atheist.

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
