My upstairs apt neighbor does. She's young,, probably around 24 or so, she's nice when I have interacted with her and even has brought over some dishes and deserts she had made (which admittedly was quite good), at first she didn't say anything about church or the bible etc. But recently that has changed, when she comes over she'll bring some food and talk a bit but has started asking me to come to her church, even gave me a religious book; not a bible but a novel. She really is sweet and nice but having grown up in a VERY religious family that, while not at all abusive or anything and did provide nevertheless at 18 I moved out and never went to church again and became an atheist. Not that I push my views on others and I do realize she's not bad or anything by any means, and I know she means well, but this can get annoying.

You're taking food off a young woman but you like she talks to you.

Stop accepting food from her.

You can can politely say no thanks. Job done.

EDIT: if you were teens maybe I'd get it, but at that age?

Convert or give up.

"She's young,, probably around 24 or so", that ain't that young anymore. That's creepy dude.

I live in a very mormon community outside of Phoenix so I have plenty of neighbors that ride their bikes around and knock on doors. They're kind folks but years ago a couple of them got so annoying I had to tell them we were Satanists for them to go away for good. Best thing to do for your neighbor OP is just be up front next time she brings something by. Honesty is always the answer. If you don't tell her you're atheist/not interested this ain't gonna stop.

Harah Krishna used to be about the city center as a teen.

They'd always push for a donation, when I probably only had enough for a CD or T-Shirt. I'd engage with them and say I didn't have the money for a donation but I would read the book (always did) but I couldn't donate. Most would give the book for free, as I pushed back on their own idea of free giving.

I went to their restaurants (brilliant food), but like fuck I was paying for a book being pushed on me. It was so common. Doesn't happen anymore where I live, think they were driven off by the council. Food was brilliant though and they were always nice. (had restaurants, all gone now I think).

Free book? fine I'll read it. Oh now you want a donation Fuck off with that shit. Was so common, they prey on youth, yet you sound old by your own responses. (saying no).

Yet I never once had a bad interaction with any of these people of any religion. You got free shit but had to donate. I never did. As I mentioned I was a young teen so looking back, pretty predatory. Called them out on their shit.

(The cookbooks were amazing).

EDIT: Had some Catholic dude who sent out dot-matrix comics lists, bought a few and the bastard hounded me on my home-line. told me I was a "bad-boy" or something as I stopped buying. I was busy banging birds by that stage, think he even brought God into it. Was mental shit.

Ah the old days ...

What youtube video is this? It shows up as age restricted so can't see anything lol
It's a wholesome song about the Love for Jesus (The Loophole - Garfunkle and Oats)

[Verse 1]
All my life I've been good
Do what my mom and dad and God say I should
Go to church and Bible School
To live by God's rule
So whatever people tell me
That the Bible tells me
I will do

Walk the halls of high school with my purity ring
Unlike those other girls, I got my morals in check
It was easy to do 'til I got a boyfriend
And pardon my French, but he's cute as heck
But I made a pact to keep my hymen intact
And Jesus and I are tight

Never learned about the birds and the bees
I was taught to keep an aspirin in-between my knees

'Cause The Bible says premarital sex is wrong
But Jason says that guys can't wait that long
I don't wanna lose him to someone who'll do him
I need to figure something out
Well, there's a loophole in The Scripture that works really well
So I can get him off without going to hell
It's my Hail Mary, full of grace
In Jesus' name, we go to fifth base
Oh, thank you for making me holy
And thank you for giving me holes to choose from
And since I'm not a godless whore
He'll have to come in the back door, therefore

[Chorus]
Fuck me in the ass, 'cause I love Jesus
The good Lord would want it that way
Gimme that sweet sensation of a throbbing rationalization
It's just between you and me
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex
That God can't see


[Verse 2]
It's hard to be as pure as me
To resist the urge to lose my vaginal virginity
To wait until my marriage bed
To give my husband my unsullied maidenhead
So take your cock out, shove it in my ass
Fuck me until you cum, oops! I mean
Let's join our souls and unite our bodies
And fly with the wings of God

Whatever you do, don't touch my clitoris
If you ring Satan's doorbell, God can't ignore this
And no prophylactics when you put it in
'Cause birth control's for sluts and it's a sin

I've emptied my bowels and laid out the towels
I'm ready for romance
Now I'm praying to the Power that's the Highest
But of all of my holes, this one's the driest
And we can't procreate if we anally copulate
And God's okay with sodomy, but only if you're straight
And I'm staying pure, no matter what
So I'm okay with everything, but... everything, but...
Everything butt... (Woah)


[Chorus]
Fuck me in the ass, 'cause I love Jesus
The good Lord would want it that way
Gimme that sweet sensation of a rock hard rationalization
It's just between you and me
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex
That God can't see


[Bridge]
I do whatever The Bible tells me to
Except for the parts that I choose to ignore
'Cause they're unrealistic and inconvenient
But the rest I live by for sure
So let's not talk about how the Good Book bans shellfish, polyester and divorce
And how it condones slavery and killing gays, 'cause those parts don't count, of course
Let's cherry-pick the part about losing my cherry and mine it for ambiguities and omissions
To circumvent any real sacrifice, but still feel pious in my arbitrary parroted positions

And don't you dare question my convictions
And don't look closely at the contradictions
Just focus on the sacrificial crucifixion
And have faith in its complete jurisdiction
As the only way to measure if you're good or not
And in a debate, just say to “have faith”
'Cause when up against logic, it's the only card you've got
So close your eyes
Take a deep breath, and


[Chorus]
Fuck me in the ass, 'cause I love Jesus
The good Lord would want it that way
Gimme that sweet sensation of an irrational rationalization
It's just between you and me
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex
That God can't see


[Outro]
Yeah, my chastity belt has locks
But sometimes you need to think outside the box

I had to google that world. Get away from her while you can. One thing is to have beliefs another is trying you to join a cult.

She's not trying to proselytize, she's courting you.

Seriously yes, had the same thing (minus the god bothering element). I'd started a new job, she was working there and was 20. No life experiance, hadnt been to uni and still lived with her (somewhat overprotective) parents. She decided she wanted some DILF action with me but didn't know how to get there. It started with the home baking she'd bring me each morning, and only me.

Not a direct neighbor, but some Jehovah's Witnesses nearby come around occasionally and send mailings

By the way, it's likely she's trying to get you to come to church so she can date you.

The advice in this thread is shocking.

Be a giga chad, OP. Next time she knocks on your door, answer it shirtless and ask her if she's down to fuck. If she's offended and walks away then you don't have to deal with her anymore. If she starts ripping the rest of your clothes off then you're golden. Both are a win.

You're welcome.

Not a neighbour, no. But I've been the attempted victim of proselytisers several times.

SOP for them is to be all nice and welcoming. Then, when they think they've gotten a grip they go in. Sometimes hard, sometimes soft.

Whether you take advantage of their kindness and then tell them to fuck off, or do so straight away, is up to you. Personally, I don't see any moral difference.

I went through a stage of baiting evangelicals and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Give ‘em ten minutes to think they’re getting through to you, then throw a copy of On The Origin Of Species at them, and eat a couple of babies like a proper atheist. That usually gets them to fuck off.
