Your (an others) argument is that you'd boldly tell these people that the religion they follow currently was forced down the throats of their ancestors, and therefore they should leave this religion immediately. Also, the institution itself that they follow is responsible for untold evil from ancient history until now.
Unless this group that was indoctrinated or descended from indoctrinated ancestors realize this on their own, you won't change their mind. And isn't trying to do so the same as trying to convert them? Which is part of the vicious circle?
