No I am not religious, yes I believe that there is some kind of 'god' or higher being.. I was raised Catholic because I lived in a small town and it's the only school they had.My opinion is, you can convince, but you shouldn't. Everyone should have the right to believe what they want .. not to be forced to believe something. Sure, present them with your arguement but let them decide and if they decide not to choose your religion don't go and get angry at it.
