I find solicitiation/evangalization irritating because it presumes that their belief system is superior to mine, and the door-knockers intrude upon my privacy.

But tactics matter a lot. If they're polite, not pushy, and leave when I tell them I'm not interested, no biggie.

Still, I think believers would do themselves (and the world) a big favor if, instead of actively evangelizing, they simply lived their beliefs and let their lives and actions speak for themselves. Sure, discuss their faith with anyone that asks; be available for seekers and people who are in tough moments in their religious life. But mostly, just live well and do well.

If more believers did that, I think they'd have far more success in conversions.
