“Saying that “atheists at least adhere to reason” is about as true as saying that “blondes at least are beautiful.” “

Well, wait I mean is, ever try to debate the existence of God or talk about Jesus to someone who has refused to take a position either way? This is called “volitional ignorance”.

Atheists are at least willing to debate. They are interested in the question of spiritual things. Then all you have to do is show them that the atheist case is extremely weak.

Again, you're making an ad hoc definition of atheist. There are plenty of atheists who are not willing to debate. There are others who claim to be willing to "debate" but who have, as a matter of first principles, defined the theist's position out of existence, the "debate," then, being little more than "let me show you all the ways you're wrong."
