Not that they are guilty for some crime, but I'd prefer people representing religious group to simply say what they have in mind without beating the bushes. It has nothing to do with my opinion on their theological position. It's more about when sharing their beliefs, they better say what exactly they beliefs are and say it in sincere way. If they feel 'shame' or for whatever reasons they don't want 'outsider' or 'new people' to understand it, I think there's something problematic with the way they share it.

For instance, I once encountered a lady from a Christian group that approached me in a park asking if I'd like to participate in a survey. I said yes. Then the lady started to ask whether I believe in God, and so on, without having any questionnaire. It turned out she wanted me to go to her church. So, they use a standard opening for people to talk to them to cover their real intention.

I have a feeling the way this person answered also had similar issue. If they have problem with the US being militaristic society, they should say it clearly.
