"I don't visit any church for more than 30 years.", I actually laughed.
The girl said, "But... You are so nice! You tried to help us... Looked on your phone and everything."
I said, "Well, trying to help has nothing to do with going to church. I'd like to be as kind as possible with as many people as possible. Religion has no role in that."

"Well sir, The Church of So and So will forever welcome you. And we hope that you visit us someday!"
Everything clicked right then.
These were missionary girls from South America. And the Miss Such and Such they were looking for was their mission. They were gonna get Miss Such and Such to go to church. Their church. And they figured they could get me too.
"Thanks, but I don't think so. I respect your beliefs, but I don't need any myself."
