In my experience arguing with religious people using "logic" and "rational thought" is mostly a waste of time. It may be useful talking to agnostics or those with genuine doubt.

At the end of the day, you can whip a religious person's prayer mat from under their feet and they'll still smile sublimely at you and wobble not a jot.

Most effective thing, in my opinion, is to do a reductio absurdum on their beliefs, or use an emotive argument such as talking about hate or fear or hell or (the argument from) evil.
