You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. "They're hiding the true shape of the ball, because they don't like god" isn't a reasonable argument. And yet for a lot of Flat Earthers, that's exactly the reason why a lot of them believe the earth is flat "cuz muh bibble sez so".

Believe you me, I have tried the socratic method, but they're much more comfortable with the lies from Eric Dubay's monotonous drone zone, Flatzoid's Perspective's selective editing, Nathan Oakley's daily shouting hour than any real facts. We live in a post fact world, it's all "a matter of opinion" to these flat earth weirdos.
