You might present him with a bit of logic.
For those of who would aspire to learning and the seeking of knowledge the world offers science, mathematics, philosophy and in general a education that furnishes the necessary tools. However if you aspire to mediocrity, reject change, fear knowledge, prefer indoctrination, seek dogma, and would have your life determined then by all means join a church. You will only have to read one book!!

You will only have to read one book!!

That's what you think.

Every time that I quote The Book, I am told that that's the Wrong Book, and I need to read a different Version of The Book, which says something totally different, and then somebody else pipes in with their Version of The Book, which says something totally different, and then somebody mentions differing Hebrew and Greek versions of The Book, which are the Only True Versions of The Book, which nobody actually has access to, assuming that they could read it if they did, so we have to rely on Translations of The Only True Versions of The Book, of which There Are Many, but only One True Translation, and the debate rages for days, sometimes weeks, and when it is all over nobody has any idea what actually happened.
