Leo Buscaglia once said that teaching is like putting out a great buffet. The job of the teacher is to lay out all this delicious food. But, he said, you can't force-feed anyone. They've got to eat for themselves.
The same is true for faith. The same is true for belief. Our job, as Christians, is to simply stand for the truth of Christ the best way we know. And to know this: if someone wants to not believe, there may be absolutely nothing we can do about that. We can't make them believe. But, like a buffet, like scattering seeds, we can invite them to come and eat.
