What advice would you give Catholics who have militantly atheist friends/family/aquaintences for how to discuss religion with them? I'm not just talking about the arguments themselves (Aquinas' 5 Ways, etc), but the tone and framing of the conversation as well. Is there a style of debate that us Christians frequently like to use that is just ineffective when talking with non-believers? Is there something that we don't frequently do, but you think would nevertheless be very fruitful for dialogue?
