I come to the door wearing nothing but an AR-15 and a Speedo. jk I don't always bring my speedo.

I have a sign on the door and for the most part it is repected. Those who do NOT respect it receive my standard sermon on why I am an atheist.

I have a pentagram hanging on the wall behind the door, so when I open the door they can see it. I tell them I'm a pagan and while I like the teachings of their God. I prefer my Gods and my idea of the after-life. That usually freaks them out enough to go away. lol

I take there paper. Tell them im sorry, im aready committed, have a nice day. Ask them if they want their papers back. Say thank you. Shut the door with a smile.
There trying to do good for people. I don't want to hurt them.

Just be polite and say "thanks, not interested" and close the door. There's never an excuse for rudeness.

I have a sign on my door.

I would like a visit. I would talk to them and question their faith with patience.

I've not met a door knocker in a very long time however my response is first and foremost to be polite. "Thank you, but no thank you. Have a nice day." That being said I live in a town densely populated with Mormons. I find that when they ask if I am a member, and I say no, the conversation doesn't press. They tend to stone up a bit and the interaction ends very swiftly, but it's never been confrontational.

Knock them on the head.

Got myself a sign -
No Soliciters!
Religious soliciters will be turned into toads.

And a large plastic toad sits next to it.
Need to figure out how to attach it to my front door and have the toad sitting on the top step.

By scheming to come up with all sorts of off-the-wall pranks and taping them and posting them online.

I have met them w kindness as well as shutting the door in their faces; for me, its about their attitude towards me. I try to reflect whatever they send my way, politely lol bc I'm southern. Sounds like u had a good experience

Also, just for kicks, I once drew a chalk outline on my porch and put up caution tape; there were watchtower magazines lying nearby; ur choice ????

I simply tell them that I was a born again Christian Evangelist for decades and now I'm an agnostic atheist. They usually go away after that. lol

I just ell them I am an atheist, and nothing can change my mind. Close the door and go on about my life.

I once had a couple of jehovas witnesses turn up at the door during a wedding party, I invited them in and tried to ply them with alcohol, food and music. I talked to them for about three hours before I let them escape. Neither of us changed our opinions on anything, why can't these people leave us alone, I would never turn up on someone's doorstep and call into question their beliefs. I got better things to do.

I say "Come on in! Let me grab my strap-on real quick. this is going to be FUN!"

They're out the door before I can finish my sentence.

It really depends on whether I'm feeling patient and generous or not. If not, I just tell them I'm an Atheist and a Pagan and I have not the slightest interest in what they are promoting.

If so, I banter for awhile. I ask them what they think they're getting out of following their religious path, and why that is so great, and what about if they're wrong. All the while radiating happiness and contentment.

They quit coming around after I got a bulldog.

If I'm in the mood i'll have the discussion with them, if not just tell them I'm not interested and have them move on.

I'm all set-let my German Shepherd scare them off-they are so annoying

Politely tell them that I am not at all interested, and that they technically are trespassers subject to criminal prosecution.

I prefer Drop towel because of course they interrupted my shower "yes, tell me about your god"

I try to be polite, but if they continue to try to push their way in, I let them know "I don't believe in fairytales."

I always want to try some street epistemology on them but my social anxiety gets in the way
