I sure would hate going through life that paranoid.

Back to topic. If a religious group knocks on your door, why come up with hare brained ideas like acting crazy, threatening to call police, etc? Is that how your parents raised you or what you taught your children? Just take their pamphlet, say you already are a Christian, Jew, or whatever- thank them and politely close the door.
If I'm not mistaken, if they cross the threshold, uninvited, you have a right to shot them no questions asked.

In fact if you remain on your own property, you can have the gun in plain sight. That would probably make them leave and not come back.
