I wouldn't say I've done everything I can to dismiss peoples beliefs. I think my point of view is quite clear, but all I've done is lay that down, then ask people about their beliefs.
I don't think it's completely unreasonable asking people to explain what they believe in, and why. If they can't, they can't. They can just say it's just "faith" and we'll move on.
