As St. Thomas says, though not in these specific words, there's really no way to convice an Atheist (or the modern evolution of agnostics) that there is God, because at the base of a belief in God is first a step of faith. While I am the persuasion that believing in anything outside of your mind is a leap of faith, and therefore, it is not unreasonable to take a leap to believe in God, it's reasonable to guess that most people don't consider that believing in anything else other than your mind is a faith-based assumption. It is also reasonable to believe that not everybody is prepared for faith and that they'll only come to a greater faith through their own experience, not through the force of anybody else.
