I believe step one is the one step that is consistent for just about everyone.
Step 1 is to have an open mind about whether or not God exists and and of what we can know about him.
If we approach the subject with preconceived ideas one way or the other, then those pre conceived ideas are likely going to form our conclusion.
I'll agree that having an open mind is not going to bring everyone to the same conclusion, but if one doesn't at least get to that point the answer is pretty much a given.
Everybody is entitled to my opinion.
