Because even if you think you won this debate, you get marked for follow ups with people in their church who are 'stronger' in their faith. and they may come in pairs next time. The first encounter is like cold calling, and if you invite them in you are generally in for 6 months of saying "no" before someone gets it.
My sister did this very thing and she wound up hiding when ever her door bell rang in the middle of the day.
Depends on how you did. I used to invite them in all the time and even invited them back, but when they got back to their churches, they told their higher ups what happened and I got blacklisted. The last thing they want their door-knockers to encounter are people who know more about their religion and their Bible than they do. they count on meeting ignorant people. They don't want anything to do with people with real knowledge.
As such, I haven't seen a door-knocker in 15 years or more. I've even seen a couple of brave souls trying to leave a pamphlet at my door, they will sneak up, leave it and literally run away. I've never been anything but nice to them either. Come on in, I'll get you a drink and let's talk about your beliefs. I think I cause too many uncomfortable questions to be asked, questions they have no answers to.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
