Specific to "Religious and Spiritual Beliefs," two documentaries that I found enlightening, and dealt with those issues with a gentle open-mindedness: "A Prayer for Compassion" and "Christspiracy."

Veganism faces a major obstacle rooted in biological evolution. We are born with a craving for sweet, salty, fatty food, and a mother's milk provides all three. The craving remains after we are weaned--it it becomes an addiction. The Biblical story of Abel and Cain tells us that God prefers animal sacrifices; this is a god who loves the smell of burning fat, and, no doubt, the salt in charred meat. This powerful craving is harmful, and it leads to premature death. You must focus on the health problem, tell people that this is an addiction, and that vegetable oils, though less fulfilling, are much healthier (fish oil might be an exception). .
