Often, there seems to be some amorphous blob of beliefs and convictions, and the Arrows Of Reason simply bounce off.

That's exactly what I found in my interactions with evangelical Christians especially. (Also, they take into account "evidence" that is only valid if they already believe in God AND the whole Christianity-specific complex...i.e. quoting Bible verses to make a point.)
