Sing to them! Show them your superior singing skills. Tell them you're a member of the amateur operatic society and that your sister has married aturf accountant and lives in a big house with a swimmingpool, sauna and room for a pony.

If it's a repeat offender - ask nicely once or twice. If they persist, feel free to get as mean and nasty as you wish.
If it's happening in the workplace, you have legal recourse. I'm not a lawyer so I can't advise you on where to go, but be sure to start documenting every encounter!
If it's a case of door-to-door types like jehovah's, put a sign on your door indicating no soliciting is welcome. If they still ring your doorbell, feel free to get mean and nasty about it.
Just avoid any threats of physical harm. I don't think threatening them with curses or black magic would be considered illegal....I'm not saying they'd WORK, but they'd find it offensive.

When the baptists/mormons/jehovah witnesses come to my door I always turn up the flame a bit and tell them to hold on a second while I go get my boyfriend so he can hear them too. That usually scares them off. hehe.

On the train - Remind them that most of the people in the train are Christian and going to Heaven, so they should just sit down and close their mouths.
On the streetcorners - Pretend to be the owner of a nearby shop and remind them they're on private property, and that if they don't move you'll call the cops.
At your house - Tell them if they keep coming you'll call the cops for harrassment.

This is true that no means no. Unfortunately people also have freedom of speech. I don't think that Jesus forced religion on anyone though. He always made it so that people could choose life or death on their own.

Yeah, I know. By the time you get them to leave your front door, you're hoping Salt Lake City colapses into a giant sinkhole and the salt lake follows it in.

You have to hit them over the head with a blunt object of some sort,a baseball bat works exceedingly well.

I used to tell people who would try preaching at me that I was a Satanist and late for a sacrifice, did they want to come? They would almost run away.

AS a minority religion follower, I do agree with you. Christians are an obnoxious group, on a whole. The best thing we could do is to ignore them. But, this is fun to jab back at them, so---------.

tell them that there is a girl who has converted to Hinduism who goes by the name "Heron by the Sea" and that she would just LOVE to talk to them. Send them my way. I love a good religious debate.
