I never read the book but it sounds interesting.
In my case, I got to the point where I just tried not to think about it. It was when Mr. Faceless said he wanted us to start going to church that I finally had to confront my beliefs. I finally just had to admit to myself that I don't really believe and I hadn't for a long time. I swear, it literally felt like I had just thrown off some heavy chains. I finally felt free.
But while I was still in my phase of believing in a higher power, I vaguely recall wanting to believe, or more accurately just thinking that I should believe. Probably more accurately I was scared not to. If I had someone I cared about explaining to me why they didn't believe it probably would have worked just as well. I recall asking my BF at the time if he believed and he said he did. I didn't have anyone around me who didn't believe.
I didn't have time to read back then, so I don't know if someone could have recommended a book to me or not. If the person described in the OP wants to read it, that's probably good. Otherwise, my advice to the OP would be to just let it happen naturally.
