Personally, if there was a phone number on the tract, I would have given them a call and told them I wanted a visitor.
Then when he showed up, I'd ask him question s about the size and materials of that gate on the cover, if they had any in stock, and would it fit over my garden walkway.

Christians are trying to be nice. I know you don't believe it, but Christians are convinced that apart from Jesus, this life on Earth is not fulfilling and the "after-life" is much worse.
If a Christian doesn't try to tell you about Jesus.....those are the ones that don't care about you.
I realize that it can be annoying, but I just wanted to give you the behind the scenes perspective...perhaps it can help you view the "annoyances" as what they are intended to be...acts of kindness.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I've heard this before. I grew up in the Bible Belt. I like the quote: Religion is like a penis, it's fine if you have one, just don't go shoving it down other people's throats.

That's their problem - they have no empathy for those who don't give a shit. They just assume that because they were told that's the best way, they have to spread it, even if it's unwanted.

So what? Their intentions don't mean anything to me. Motive doesn't matter, actions do.

the next time a Christian tries teaching you about Jesus and you don't want to hear it, give them this quote:
John 6:43-45
New International Version (NIV)
43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’[a] Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.

And if they still pester you, ask them if they're under the new covenant now (most will say we are).
Then hit them with these verses:
Jeremiah 31:31-34
King James Version (KJV)
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Why would I babble on about that horseshit. Here's a -verse-
"512.070 CRIMINAL LITTERING
Penalty: Class A Misdemeanor ~ Fine up to $500 or up to one year in jail or both
A person is guilty of criminal littering when he/she:
Drops or permits to drop on a highway any destructive or injurious material and does not immediately remove it; or
Knowingly places or throws litter on any public or private property or in any public or private water without permission; or
Negligently places or throws glass or other dangerous pointed or edged substances on or adjacent to water to which the public has access for swimming or wading or on or within fifty (50) feet of a public highway; or
Discharges sewage, minerals, oil products or litter into any public waters or lakes within the state."
Trash belongs in the garbage can.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I appreciate it when Muslims or Christians or anyone of any religion tries to convince me or show me the way or remind me of the "truth". It shows they care, and are not leaving me out to dry.
They are wrong from my perspective, but I can see where they are coming from, and why they believe what they are doing is act of goodness.
If they believe they are enlightened, and want you to experience that, it's an act of love.
After reading a book of inner lives of animals, I think I appreciate there is more than one way to live. And for that, I don't think my path is superior to other paths, but it's one that I appreciate being upon, be it wrong in many aspects or right in many aspects.
