Tell them to f*** off

I guess I am extremely fortunate in this regard; my mother's side of the family was atheist to begin with (makes me a third gen); my dad is lapsed, his sister has completely given it up.

So something like this would not have happened to me.  My brother actually converted TO Christianity and got to stress out for 30 years about how the rest of us were going to hell (wow my mom hit the roof when she found out he believed that in particular... just shows my mom knows nothing about christianity).  (He actually de-converted a few years ago.  Hallelujah!)

A full grown adult (mind fully matured) who believes in sky fairies is telling you you're the idiot..Read the previous sentence again.....

This seems impossible to me. You'd ask them how they figure, and then when they inevitably spout something about "truth" or "fact" you've already won.

Well, my parents aren't creationists, and most catholics i met would completely laugh at people who believe that Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden really existed, in my catechesis we were told that the Adam and Eve story was a tale told to the people of that time, because if god had told the Hebrews how it really happened, they wouldn't understand, at that time, that explanation made sense, today i know its just a ridiculous excuse.

My mother is a spiritualist, she believes in reincarnation,people that can communicate to spirits and psychographics (i hope that this is the right english word for the person that can be used by a spirit to write letters, books, and recently a singer here in Brazil claimed that her songs are written by spirits through her...). She claim that this is backed by metaphysics. But that she doesn't understand a thing about metaphysics. But that there are physicists, specially one from my state Professor Moacir, that not only are spiritualists, but also claim that their field of science reveals that spiritualism is real because metaphysics shows that there are different dimensions and planes of existence... At least looking at the good side, most of the spiritualists accept evolution since its part of their belief, they believe that people evolve spiritually, so most of them believe, or at least see that everything evolve biologically, only recently i found a small group of spiritualists who find the "biological evolution" a completely nonsensical joke
