I don't handle it very well. When I start talking about Nietzsche and nihilism and decadence and how "God is dead" and then the existentialists and how existence is absurd I end up saying things in a way that are somehow threatening. I don't feel too exceptionally bad about it though, they're invading my space and not being very respectful of my views.
Now I just try to politely say "no, thanks" and have them move away as quickly as possible. I get nothing out of discussions with people who treat me as if I'm stuck in the firey depths of hell.
I got a card that sounds just like what you received and it didn't have an overt church or religious party name on it... but I found an address in small print and researched it. There are interesting corporate televangelist ties to some of these groups.
