This has become something of a hobby horse of mine over the last few years. I was raised as a fundamentalist, so I had a lot of anti-science indoctrination to get over, both explicit and implicit. The main problem with this sort of thing, including the methods outlined in the article, is getting past the backfire effect. The best way around that seems to be challenging the methods used to come to a belief, rather than challenging the belief directly. There's a technique called "street epistemology", loosely based on the Socratic method, that's specifically designed to avoid the backfire effect.
