This idea, on a big scale, is fine. But if you're personally talking to a religious person, I honestly don't think louder is better.
A natural response when you wish to influence somebody is to become aggressive and insult them and their beliefs. However, I promise you it doesn't work.
Read Robert Cialdini's "Influence". Read Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people".
All through those books, they say that if you want anybody to change, you have to get them to want to change. Rather than attack them, we have to persuade them.
Most of all, if we insult them, they'll cling onto religion harder, so they don't turn into "monsters like us".
If we want to deconvert religious people, we cannot go about it in such a harsh way.
I deconverted from Christianity and it was the gentle, nice atheists who persuaded me. The loudmouth militant atheists just made me cringe and turn my back.
