Sam – You don’t have an obligation to maybe help him become religious in the future. I also hear the s’vara that if a frum Jew helped him desecrate one of the basic tenets of Judaism he will lose respect/value for it. Let’s assume this is in Israel, where the average irreligious motorist has a very good idea of the situation.

Also, it says Im ra’isah tzadik she’chata … shemah asah teshuvah etc. I understand. I’m just saying that the obligation exists whether or not your positive judgement is in fact the truth, yet we only see stories of cases where the judgement turned out to be the truth.

interjection – I would love to hear a source for that!
