That's the fundamental tenet of faith: belief without, or in contradiction of, proof.

Faith, by definition, cannot be reasoned into, therefore canot be reasoned out of.

The problem is that there a various faiths that require evangelism which harms others or require harm, e.g. denying health care.

There are no faiths which require denying people health care. Cruel individuals interpret their faith that way, but it's not the faith responsible for it, it's the individual.

But my point is that even if you find a truly evil faithful person and show them a long list of data proving that their actions are immoral, you can't make them stop believing. You don't have control over it. You're trying to have vengeance on a belief by checkmating one of its believers and that can't work; you're just hurting someone in vengeance.
