Try this:
There is a cake tin. Some believe there is a cake in the tin. Others believe the tin is empty. Until the tin is opened and the contents, or lack thereof are revealed, all either side has is their belief.
I don't think anyone can open that tin yet.
And I believe there are people on both sides who don't want it opened.

Nicely put.
If there is a closed cake tin, does it matter if there is anything in it? We can't open it anyway, so why bother...

So you want to wage war against those believers, to educate them, teach them the one true belief?
Isn't that what THEY are said to be doing all the time? How is this different then?
It's funny how one could just "invert" most atheist to get a religous zealot. You'd not really need to change anything, just the sign, from minus to plus, so to speak.
