When students ask me about my beliefs I tell them that all religions basically tell you to be a good person. So if you do that you don't need a religion, or that any religion will do.
When my adult Chinese friends ask me, I tell them I believe in everything and nothing. That I am just as happy to wander into a local god temple and light an incense stick as I am to go to a church of some sort, or to do nothing at all.
But what I do is also teach logic and reasoning, so that when people who are gung-ho evangelicals start trying to convert them to a particular belief, I give them tools to analyse what they are being fed. I tell them fundamentalism of any type is dangerous and simplistic, and that one form of fundamentalism is no better than any other form.
How many western students know about Henry V and the churches? I don't think we have to get into too much history either with this.
