Must religion keep losing the argument?
Paradoxically, Christopher Hitchens must be due for canonisation as a secular saint. In the broadcast snatches of his Toronto debate against Tony Blair on whether religion is a force for good, Hitchens assumed a kind of divine grandeur.
Clearly, the social welfare argument is not working, so why not go for broke with sacred awe?

She's got no chance with awe. Looking through the Hubble telescope or contemplating binary star systems beats a burning bush any day.
