Many of the theists I have met have not been vulnerable in any way whether they be Buddhist, Moslem, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, or other. Very few have been upset with Western society (I am, but only because of the harm caused by Western society and that does not have an affect on my religious, but instead political beliefs). I was looking for something extra, but wasn't in the mood for a new religion when I experimented with Islam more than 8 years ago. The religious folk I met were quite upfront with ther religous message based upon their texts; there was no attempt whatsoever at whitewashing the faith.....I was even told my a Moslem professor to not even try pretty much (I guess he could tell what I wanted and what Islam provided was not compatible).
I think you're misconstruing. What I said/meant is that the sorts of people who convert as a result of people in the public space are (one of) the things I listed. There are loads of videos of people converting after just short conversations with dogmatists precisely because they were already looking for a new religion or because they were very confused. If you've watched conversion videos of Muhammadans on YouTube you may note that there are some recurring themes. Often they will lament about Western Society or how Christianity doesn't make sense.
