You cannot assure me of anything of the kind. If they do not require evidence to believe that a proposition is true, then they have totally rejected reason in accepting the existence of a supernatural being (who isn't even a nice guy).
I stand corrected on their bathing habits. Obviously, when it comes to religion, all reason has been thoroughly scrubbed away.
You're assuming that they suddenly decided no evidence was neccessary to change their mind about a controversial issue. That's a pretty big assumption on your part.
Like I said, it takes quite a bit to convince people that once believed God did not exist that He in fact does. That's a major change in world view, something which can only happen by means of something significant.
