My boss for example fully believes that the earth is 6000 years old and that carbon dating isn't real. Because and I quote "I am required by my faith to believe the earth is 6000 years old for it is in the Bible. If I do not believe it I will go to hell".

I wonder if your boss makes any distinction in their mind between truly believing something and telling everybody you believe it's true.

My boss USE to "believe" in science. But he doesn't want to go to hell. So he actively now chooses to "believe" and follow his faith.

He is very clear on that fact. He's even able to explain rather well a lot of for lack of a better word. Sciencey things.

But he's willfully and actively choosen to stop "believing" in that.

I wonder if he's ever heard of Pascal's Wager or the 800 reasons it doesn't make sense.

You should tell him that the non-abrahamic god YOU believe in will not only send you to hell for anything less than 100% belief, but will curse your entire family/ancestors/descendants to the same fate regardless of their faith and deeds.
