Of course given the years of psychological manipulation and brainwashing religious families put their ofspings through it might take a tad longer than this. But if you care about her you HAVE to try.
Good luck.
I thought I would get an answer like this. I don't see how this would be supportive of her beliefs. It would be more of me pushing other beliefs onto her.

My question to you is, just because you don't believe in God and someone else does, what makes your belief right and theirs make-believe?

By telling someone that God isn't real, doesn't exist, and belongs in a children's book, how is that any different than "brainwashing" as a church allegedly does?

I am trying to go into this with an open mind. While I appreciate your feedback and views, I think it's a little one-sided.

I am not saying that your belief is right, or hers is right, because in the end, no one knows.
