If you don't want them to ring your doorbell, you can disable it. We got a lot of Church solicitations when we first moved in, but don't get so much any more. We do get a lot of other solicitations though. If I see them coming I usually just meet them on my front porch, or quickly put my dogs out in the back yard. My dh is too much of a softie and always tells them they will have to talk to me instead of just telling them we are not interested. Poor folks, they get false hope coming back only to have to hear me tell them no thank you. For many, it is the only job they can get and I can't imagine having to have a job where most of what you hear is rejection (with solicitors) so there is no reason to be rude, but if they push me, I will get short with them.
