Yeah, rather than just tell them to leave, you have to scare little kids with a gun. That's being a real man right there.
Those people drag their kids along as a marketing ploy. A little kid says he accepts Jesus because the parents lead him on, and he wants their approval, so he just goes "Yeah, whatever, I'm all down with this Jesus stuff." And he goes along and spouts off about what his parents told him to say, so you'll be all "Aww, look at the little kid. If he believes it, it must be true. I'm converted!!!!"
If atheists or maybe Wiccans went door-to-door like that, there'd probably be legislation put forth pretty damn quickly to make it legal to have them arrested for trespassing and aggravated mental assault. It'd be national news about how the damn atheists are trying to corrupt our children, and eat our babies, and how they must be stopped.
