However, there are also times that even if ones' life is in danger (or continues to be proven wrong), one would still continue their present behavior despite it not helping (and it doesn't help their case that they still kept that attitude even though they were in a life or death battle with the Soul Eater and/or Glass). So even if they'll get killed if they don't cooperate, are you sure that the other heroes are even rationale enough to comprehend that the situation they're in to drop their attitudes long enough to listen to each other (along with even if they do make it out, on what grounds do you have that the other heroes are going to even listen to the lectures that Naofumi is going to give them after the battle? What's stopping them from ignoring him again?

Because they were being rational is the entire reason they got attacked in the first place. They stopped buying into the lie long enough to investigate the Church and, as I pointed out, are reasonable enough to figure out "stab the guy who tried to kill us". Again, not complicated or rocket science.

And, as for his lecturing, it doesn't really matter if they listen or not after they deal with the main threat.

If they won't listen to him after that, so what? He doesn't even like the world or the people by his own admission, so if anything I'd expect him to split afterwards. Even if they did start listening to him, he hates them too much to show them any level of respect that would warrant anything beyond being acquatineces for them buying into the story they were told. That ship has sailed.

As long as the waves are dealt with and they work together when the time comes and aren't fighting each other, then its fine.They don't need to be friends or even like each other as long as they get the job done.


But besides that point, Ren has actively been listening, hence why he went to investigate the Church after Naofumi tipped him off and thanked him for dealing with the plague afterwards. As far as his characterization goes, he will listen.
