Against fast-food chains, entertainment with its different forms and different beliefs built on science, religion doesn't seem to hold.
In other words; religion is getting old.
Thus, missionaries use tricks to convert people and get them to be more interested in the preached religion; there internet armies for every religion out there, chat rooms and forums get bombarded usually. Sites like youtube witness keyboard battles between the different missionaries -especially in the comment sections-.
In real life, it usually begins with inviting and convincing the non-believer to attend the missionary community where he/she would be surrounded by believers; like in your case.
Heck; I grew up in Saudi Arabia. In my middle/high school there was a community called "The Islamic Awareness", led by religion teachers, they used to offer members a way out of the classes, extra marks...etc.
It's all about "seducing" others into the religion through showing a very seducing face in certain situations; while in reality it's something else.
So a tactic would be for the young missionary guys to be your friends; while the head leader show hate. It's a well known tactic; in slang it's called "good cop bad cop". Such psychological games would fill the interaction between the missionary community and other non-believers; making missionaries one of the filthiest mentalities I have ever known or seen.
Lies; no honesty.
