Admittedly I don't have to deal with proselytizing much, but as a generally anti-social person I feel like if you're outgoing enough to talk to random strangers on the street (or even more boldly to knock on their door and ask to come into their house) then there's really better ways you could be spending your time while also ministering. Working in a meal kitchen feeding homeless or delivering meals to the elderly or organizing clothing or school supply drives for the poor. But I can also see Penn Jillette's point about it's better to try to convert non-believers because that's what your religion teaches than to simply let them be condemned to hell by your own inaction. But me personally, I'm not looking to spend my time debating.
Nowadays though I feel like there's a majority of "Christians" who just kind of look at people and judge them like "that person's gonna go to Hell" and it doesn't bother them enough to intervene, which is beneficial for me as an asocial type, but it's also a net negative because then their beliefs are flexible and not reinforced by actions, so they just make mental excuses for other things that they don't really want to deal with that are actual problems like poverty and homelessness and food insecurity etc. But if it's something painless like checking a box on a ballot because somebody said they're gonna do X, Y, and Z then they'll do that and maybe even campaign for it a little bit because it's easier to offload the work of finding solutions onto someone else.
