Is this more of an American thing ? Here in the UK l would say that it's mostly the JWs and Mormons who choose to keep separate . That is to do with control over members. Both religions that started in the US .
If they come to my door l will engage with them and explain why l believe what l do . I do tend to point out the false prophecies to try to get them to think about that .
I won't mention the Trinity if they don't.

10/31 New York Times, "They’re Giving Scammers All Their Money. The Kids Can’t Stop Them." Has Watchtower scammed your family?
by Balaamsass2 inthe seniors in our family were scammed by watchtower, for over 7 figures.
an interesting read today to give some insight.. one of the most egregious con-artists is watchtower bible and tract society the “legal” entity for jehovah’s witnesses.
many retired jehovah’s witnesses have been targeted over the years to “loan” money for various “special projects” to further the “preaching work”, only to find they are never to be repaid.

Beth many religions use money donated for work in the community or actual upkeep of buildings . The Church of England building that attend is a 160yr old stone building which is quite expensive to keep going .
However many people who never contribute want the Church building available for Baptisms , Weddings and Funerals when it suits them .
Also we run a Place of Welcome group for ANYONE who wants to come and have refreshments and company.
Plus an Mom's ( Dad's, Grans, Grandads) and under 5 group . Also a Knit and Natter Group for anyone to attend
They do not have to be Church members, these groups are for the benefit of the community.
In addition we support overseas charities like Aytuliah which helps women in India to get out of the sex trade and learn skills to get legitimate work .
Please do not view all religions through the prism of the WT .
