Generally, these people are friendly, but they always ask what religion I am and when they find out I'm (gasp!) Catholic, they want to save me from myself. I find this very rude and disrespectful since I was taught never to ridicule others' religions. Also, my kids always come to the door to see what's up and I just refuse to argue religion in front of them. I don't think religion should be "argued" at all. While I defend people's right to preach, by all means, I wish there was a way to tell people that while I respect their beliefs, I simply don't agree and would rather not get into a 20-minute argument over it. If you were at my door, what would you find acceptable for me to say? I am not the type of person to just say, "go away - I'm not interested" but that's kind of what I feel after I bend over backwards trying not to be rude and the person won't go away.
