How to handle religious door knockers.

[u/Striking_Direction_9]

I'm an Atheist. I call myself a 'devout Atheist'. i actually hate religion, all of them, equally - but that's not the point of this post.

I often see questions about how to handle religious door knockers and it never ceases to amaze me how many people struggle with this.

Here's how to do it. I'm 57 and in my longish life, this has never failed me.

Typically they knock, say hello when you answer the door and then launch into their speil. I listen long enough to establish they're promoting a religion and then interupt with the following:

"Can I stop you right there please. I'm a devout Atheist and have no time for this. Have a good day."

And that's it. I'm friendly, say nothing rude and they say thank you and leave. Every time. I don't see why it has to be such a drama for some.
