Do not threaten his beliefs. Beliefs are like possessions, young man: even if you don't want them anymore, you'll still lay down your life in defense of them. Let him dispose of his own beliefs in his own time. That is his right, and I would tell him so if I considered him my friend. If he approaches you with the subject again, ask him if he would rather compare notes with you instead, and try to be supportive of him.
