When it comes to religious matters, I tend to remember the advice I found in a novel by Robert A. Heinlein. One of his more popular characters once observed "Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig." The point being that while I am always happy to discuss religious matters with others, I long ago abandoned the concept of "converting" others to my way of thinking. If I happen to say something they find value in, that may eventually lead to the individual choosing to alter his or her mindset of their own accord. Being Universalist in my foundational faith understandings, I tend to try to see the good in others, try to learn something about different ideologies and cultures, and am free to operator on the assumption that each of us find our own way to the Ultimate Reality in our own way and our own time. Not believing in eternal punishment kinda helps a little too.
