Being that the vast majority of "agnostics" are strong atheists themselves, this isn't so surprising, and I may be just humouring you, but you cannot prove that Christianity is a false religion. To claim that the Christian God does not exist is irrational and therefore strong atheism.
Imo, to survive you need to fit in. You can fit in and still be an atheist (weak) by handling situations regarding theolgy rationally. Don't impose your beliefs on others and politely decline to participate or have their beliefs imposed on you.
Welcome to the board.
