You think exactly what I think. I've often wanted to write some hints on how to evangalise more effectively.
However, I do have a few ideas:
* Think of mediaeval times. Supposedly everyone believed, but I'm sure there were lots of people who thought they believed, but put off thinking about it the way we don't plan for old age.
* They might correctly realise you're basically a lost cause, so a pitch that gets you to say "no think you" quickly, but gets someone who *is* thinking about it to listen may be perfect.
* Many people apparently *do* find it inconceivable that there *isn't* a god, and so *do* feel everyone is deliberately ignoring it, even if they know better intellectually.
* This last also axplains why you start your argument too near the end.
