what if they don't believe the Bible is real?

Consider a hunter, lost in the woods, who encounters an angry grizzly bear. Should he cast away his rifle because the bear believes it to be a funny looking stick? Absolutely NOT! Regardless of what the bear believes, the rifle has incredible power. So tell people what the Bible says even if they don't believe it's of God. The gospel, a two edged sword which cuts to the innermost soul, is the power of God which brings salvation to everyone who believes.

Romans 1:16-17 - I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
