What's the point in hassling them? Even though I don't follow their religion, there are a lot of other things I'd rather do with my time then fuck with someone that's following their beliefs.

I agree, in part. As I just wrote in the religions thread, one of the few problems I have with any religion is the need to spread their word or push their beliefs on others. If asked about my beliefs I would be more than happy to share that with others, but in turn, I don't want others to try to convince me that their beliefs are better than mine when it's unsolicited.
Personally, my best friend and someone I work very closely with are Witnesses, and we've had this discussion a little bit, but I try not to press the issue with them. Though, if I ever ask them a question, they are very straight forward with me. But, before I met them, I most associated the "Door-to-Door Salesman" approach to "converting" others. I now understand that not the intent, but, first impressions are hard to break.
