Trying to communicate effectively with a community that shares views different from yours is very challenging. I don't really have any advice that guarantees success. I usually try to listen more than I speak, and be ready to change my opinion no matter how obvious to me I am right. As an example, when talking to Christians who strongly oppose homosexuality, I discuss how the bible emphasises love and compassion repeatedly while the new testament has only 1 passage that can be interpreted as antihomosexual, and many christians don't interpret it that way. It doesn't usually work.
