My boss for example fully believes that the earth is 6000 years old and that carbon dating isn't real. Because and I quote "I am required by my faith to believe the earth is 6000 years old for it is in the Bible. If I do not believe it I will go to hell".

I wonder if your boss makes any distinction in their mind between truly believing something and telling everybody you believe it's true.

    I wonder if he's ever heard of Pascal's Wager or the 800 reasons it doesn't make sense.

    You should tell him that the non-abrahamic god YOU believe in will not only send you to hell for anything less than 100% belief, but will curse your entire family/ancestors/descendants to the same fate regardless of their faith and deeds.
