Depends on my mood.

Sometimes I have just ignored it. Other times just said thank you but not interested and sent them on their way.

Then a couple of my favorites...

One of the best reactions that I received was when I told them that I already had a religion.... that I was a Satanist. Thought the guy was about to soil himself when I invited him to our next sacrificial offering.

Another time I felt a little antagonistic so I listened to them and kept bringing up questions about their beliefs. Things that make no sense if you logically look at it. Kept getting the answer "you have to have faith" and I would counter that with "I am sure that centuries ago people said that you just had to have faith about the sun rising every day but now we know the scientific explanation behind it". They used to worship the sun as a god but now we know better. Those type of things. There is no chance of taking this approach now, I don't have the patience for this now that I am getting older.
