among generally nonproselytizing religions, like Buddhism and Hinduism, also actively seek to convert people to their beliefs.

However, my guess is that none have ever shown up at your door both because they are very tiny minorities in this Christianity-dominated nation (so many doors, so few people) and even more because it would be unacceptably dangerous. Christianity thumpers are a culturally accepted nuisance. Here.

Which suggests the obvious answer to Omar's question in Christian-dominated parts of the world. If this were a Sawdi airline, or Somali (are there any?), though, odd as preaching Islam on a plane would be, I suspect the greatest objection, to the point of possible danger, would be if a woman did it.

"It was a cartoon drawing of a city block with an abortion clinic and prostitutes and strippers and gay people makin' out and trans people existin', and everyone was smokin' weed and passin' drugs around and the caption said 'this is the world atheists want.' And I saw that and I was like, 'god damn, man...fuckin' nailed that shit!"
