In my experience, they tend to leave faster if you act like you aren't really religious but are open minded to what they say. Take their cards or pamphlets or whatever they're handing out and say thank you. Don't discuss any of your beliefs to someone trying to convert you to something else. This only fuels them more.
Pretend you are mildly interested and be polite. Lie and say you'll think about it. They will think it's a job well done and leave faster.
If you are in a hurry, saying no thanks and shutting the door works too.
In no way am I meaning to bash any religion. I'm just saying I can understand the annoyance of someone trying to convert me to something. To me it's really awkward and something that should be personal.

I have a Jehovah's Witness friend. He's extremely kind, gentle, and he believes God is loving. People take advantage of him. They get money from him and don't pay him back. He's always smiling. Always happy to be around.
His heart's good.
When was the last time any of us spent eight hours going round talking about God?
Bring them in. What's to fear?
Do you know God?
Do they know God?
Who has seen God's face? . . . ..
We all eat for the same reason. And we all poop too.

I'm not bashing their religion,. you tell them to stop and they want to argue, this country has freedom of religion, I know what they believe is wrong as all Christians should, but they have the right to believe it, but what they dont have the right to do is continue to hang around after they have worn out their welcome, as they think they have the right to do, you could be a follower of the Koolaid man if you want, but dont continue to argue you are right after I have nicely asked you to leave

Well it isn't technically lying if you do indeed think about it. You aren't telling them you're only thinking about it for 10 seconds...
I will only resort to the half-fib when pushed with too many personal questions by extremely pushy people who have no right to ask what they're asking. Desperate times call for dealing with things in ways I don't normally want to.
People scare me.

I literally just went over a similar topic in the klife (smallgroup ministry) group, dont lash back with witty comments down trodding their religion because God doesnt want us being hateful to anyone, to go back on a very old saying and verse turn the other cheek though theyre going to trash God just say sorry but I have no interest in your religion because i am a christian and believe whole heartedly in my religion, then bid them goodbye and shut the door. Youre not being rude youre just politely telling them to leave you alone.
