As someone who's been on both sides of the conversion to/from Christianity (and strong atheism) I can confirm there's a moment where you just switch off all reasoning with others but after a time it becomes more stressful than it's worth. Eventually two things will occur from what I've noticed in others: either you get tired of the bs (like you hinted at) and mellow out or you double down on the fanaticism. I can't figure out why the latter occurs considering how much stress it seems to put on a person both psychologically and physically. You'd think the body's own limitations would be the ultimate stop button but it seems the human mind/brain is more stubborn than I'd like to believe. :/
