As for closing the door, that doesn't work. I have a friend, he is Catholic, but these Christian preachers keep going to his door and giivng him pamphlets and everything. Once he said "I have a religion and I'm happy" and tried to close the door. The person then stopped him and said "You can't speak for your parents". They visited him several times. That exists. No atheists will keep going to your door and asking you to stop believing in God. Christians go above and beyond in the area of converting. Once I asked a Mormon friend a question about heaven and he tried to get me to read the Book of Mormon and tried to give me one. I said I wasn't interested. He didn't press the issue. I have a Christian friend who refuses to listen to anything about Astrology of take Biology classes because he is so serious about his religion. He just doesn't believe in evolution, or even BLACK HOLES! It boggles the mind. He tried to convince me that humans are meant to be vegetarian. My Mormon friend doesn't believe that our thoughts are just electrical signals in the mind, probably because he believes the soul is what makes us human. That means we can prove that souls do not exist and it should disprove the big religions. Here's the plan. Develop a sort of transporting technology like in Star Trek. Make a copy of someone without disassembling the original. If people really have souls, the copy cannot possibly be human and have emotions and imagination. If the person is really identical, then there is no soul because a soul is unique to each person and we can't possible create souls with technology, right? Finding a way to scan where every last subatomic particle that makes up a person is at any instant, storing that data, and making a copy using that data is going to be the tricky part though.
