[M]an has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to having a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head.

Jargon, not argument, is your best ally in keeping him from the Church. Don't waste time trying to make him think that materialism is true!

If they laugh and smack the ground saying “Bold ground,” then you pick yourself up and get on with it.
