@OP: I'll just say what people have probably already said, but with a personal twist: People aren't necessarily narcissists with perception issues just because they don't agree with you, that's ridiculous. Some people just genuinely believe in a higher spirit, be it God, Allah, Brahman, Cthulhu or Korrok. Who knows whether they're right or not, but as long as they're not pushy or acting dangerously because of it, we should just let them believe what they want. They also might find relief in thinking that life isn't completely meaningless, or that stuff doesn't just stop after death. I'm among them, as I believe in reincarnation, though not influenced by karma (this does not mean I'm not afraid of death, I really am). Just try respecting people's beliefs and know that they're just as entitled to their opinions as you are.
