He could mention the moral arguments... but each man of conscience can recognize these also, outside any religious belief.
He could maybe unfold some modern scientific arguments which indeed, point to the existence of an intelligent and incredibly careful creator... but the nonbeliever may easily observe that none of them implies that this mysterious creator incarnated himself as a man in order to bring the example of divine love to mankind and ensure its salvation. He could enumerate the prophecies of the Old Testament, also confirmed by the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls, which find their fulfillment in the life of Jesus, as it is described in Gospels. However, these ones will usually not attract the unbeliever, for he already heard other theories which seem to demonstrate irrefutably the fallacies and contradictions of the Scriptures.

However, what was once said by the Lord is eternally true… So, maybe the Christians (who are now, before His Second Coming, His people, the new Jews of the humanity) would do well to meditate more on His own known words from the Scriptures, when dealing with the New Revelation:
“For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” (Matt 13:15) and “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.”(Matt 12:32) So, to speak against Jesus Christ and implicitly against Christianity can be forgiven, but to speak against the spirit of love, thus to oppose it, cannot ever be… For to be against love means already to condemn yourself in your heart, to put yourself willingly outside the universal order of God and ultimately, to fight against your own fundamental life.
However, by reading the New Revelation, one can understand, in full consistency with the Scriptures, the human nature, its liberty, the influence of sin on it, and thus, can obtain not only a great perspective of the historical natural and spiritual development of mankind, but also, a clear and detailed representation of the things that God expects us to do for ourselves and, most of all, for our brothers in need.
