How do you respond to religous people?

I'd say religion is a personal, private thing.
If you believe in god or some higher being, good for you. If you do not, good for you.
You do not have to demonstrate either to other persons.

A friend of mine does not believe afaik, however he carries an amulet of Thor for whatever reason. When Jehova's witnesses knocked at his door he opened, listened, and invited them to come in saying something like "all gods are welcome here" pointing at this amulet. They were gone in a second.

if there was not so much bad and mayhem initiated by those believers, I would just brush it aside. But you cannot when you know how much wars and killing is done in HIS name. From Houthis to Palestines, to Israel, to all the wars that were and will be.

To answer the OP's question: Try to get rid of them with whatever means you see fit. What YOU think about god has nothing to do with official churches, beliefs or especially this american "televangelism". If you really believe you do not need a church. If not, the point is moot anyway.

I just ask them to forgive me for all the bodies I buried out back.
Never goes much further after that for some reason.

Like I have said before evangelists only care about the unaffiliated soul.

If you ask any of these believers whatever Christianity they belong to

They would all say-God is on our side, some would even say God is only on our side.

Isn't it fantastic what great job Satan do when considering only one religious group have God on their side(So they all claim)

No trace of holiness far and wide. Everything divine is dependent on the extend of self-knowledge.

When you think about it, the difference between an Atheist and a Christian is just the disbelief in one additional god.

Believers and non believers can argue all they want but only one of them is right and after they die only one of them will know that they were right.
