I’ve got experience in this area.
First thing for an Atheist you need to scare the hell out of him, see the problem with your husband is that he doesn’t believe in God and therefore doesn’t believe in the Devil, so you got to convince him that the devil is real.
Exorcist Father Vince Lampert says, If people no longer believe in Evil, then the converse will be as true as well, people will no longer believe in God, or will move further away from him. If the devil can convince us that he does not exist, then we really have no need for a savior, no need for Christ.
Exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth says, All those that do not believe in the devil, actually help the devil, he is very happy that most do not believe he exists. Because when a person does not believe in the devil, then the devil has more freedom and the person can’t have freedom over the devil.
I have been giving Ouija Boards away to all my Atheist Friends with the primary purpose that they will abuse the powers that the Ouija Boards possess, sooner or later, they always make contact with something, mostly demonic entities. That’s when all the fun begins, because an Atheist will say it’s Coincidence, then as more crazy Coincidental stuff happens their faith will grow, it will grow in the belief that there are demons, and hopefully in Satan as well. Then when they feel threatened by the Crazy stuff happening they will look for help, as they always do. Of the 34 Atheists that I have given this game to 29 have sought the attention of Catholic Priests, 25 of them are in RCIA studying to become Catholics, and 2 have been confirmed.
At the same time spike his drinks with Holy Water, (not from the Holy Water Font at the entrance of Catholic Churches, but get your Holy Water from the Holy Water Urn from the Sacristy). Looks kind of like this
Urn. And see if he has any weird reactions, sooner or later he’ll realize somethings wrong and turn to you for answers.
(At the same time, start watching a lot of Exorcist Movies with him, they are entertaining for both Catholics and Atheists.)

An Exorcist Tells His Story
Father Amorth explains the five types of diabolical activity - possession, oppression, obsession, infestation and subjugation - and with many anecdotes shows how exorcism deals successfully, if sometimes laboriously, with these manifestations of evil. He emphasises that the ‘ordinary means’ of overcoming satanic malice are always prayer, the sacraments, fasting and striving to live a Christian life – ‘Confession is stronger than an exorcism’ – yet accepts that sometimes exorcisms (‘extraordinary means’) are vital to the life and health of a sufferer. One tormented individual wrote about his possession thus: ‘I started to suffer as I had never done before…I felt my body was a stranger. I was prey to the strongest despair and I saw, I know not with whose eyes, a terrible darkness that was not part of the room in which I was…It was as though I was been killed by an unseen knife and I felt that whoever was pressing this knife hated me and wanted something more than my death…’
Symptoms of Demonic Influence
- Diabolic obsession. Symptoms include sudden attacks, at times ongoing, of obsessive thoughts, sometimes even rationally absurd, but of such nature that the victim is unable to free himself Therefore the obsessed person lives in a perpetual state of prostration, desperation, and attempts at suicide. Almost always obsession influences dreams. Some people will say that this is evidence of mental illness, requiring the services of a psychiatrist or a psychologist. The same could be said of all other forms of demonic phenomena. Some symptoms, however, are so inconsistent with known illnesses that they point with certainty to their evil origins. Only an expert and well-trained eye can identify the crucial differences.
PRAYER AGAINST EVERY EVIL
Spirit of our God, Father, Son , and Holy Spirit, Most Holy Trinity, Immaculate Virgin Mary, angels, archangels, and saints of Heaven, descend upon me. Please purify me, Lord, mold me, fill me with Yourself, use me. Banish all the forces of evil from me, destroy them, vanquish them, so that I can be healthy and do good deeds. Banish from me all spells, witchcraft, black magic, malefice, ties, maledictions, and the evil eye; diabolic infestations, oppressions, possessions; all that is evil and sinful, jealousy, perfidy, envy; physical, psychological, moral, spiritual, diabolical ailments. Burn all these evils in hell, that they may never again touch me or any other creature in the entire world. I command and bid all the powers who molest me – by the power of God all powerful, in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior, through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary – to leave me forever, and to be consigned into the everlasting hell, where they will be bound by Saint Michael the archangel, Saint Gabriel, Saint Raphael, our guardian angels, and where they will be crushed under the heel of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.
