Steve, I don't think this necessarily reflects on religion in the TOS as such, but the problems of persistent people "wanting to convert you", hawkers or tele-marketers. People have the right to privacy and being left alone in their homes.
While these people might be nice and decent folk, it is very frustrating to be constantly being interrupted. Where I live, the frequency of these religious 'visits' is about four per week! Most are at 8pm to 10pm on Saturday mornings - annoying when you finally get a chance to rest. I like to go out in Friday night and have a good sleep-in on many of those Saturdays.
Believe what you must, but frankly I could not care one iota about their religious views or products being sold by hawkers. Being polite doesn't work, telling them not to bother me any more doesn't work. The only way seems to be obnoxious as possible - and that is what others are mostly saying here too.
All I would like is to be left alone and recover from the rigours of the week. It really annoys the hell out of me - a frustration that sadly need venting! Modern living in a city is really becoming a real pain!
