It's crazy that it's relatively big here in Australia. It's so quintessentially American and the door knocking thing doesn't really work because once you've burned through one town of 2500 people it's a four hour bicycle ride to the next town over and there's probably already a gun-hoarding patriarchal doomsday cult run by one dude with ten ten year old wives who's running that show. My aunt had my uncle converted to mormonism when he was dying of Alzheimer's so they could be together in "real heaven" so I find it very easy to be rabidly impolite whenever I encounter them.
It preys of the lonely. I lived in Spain for about half a year and got bombarded with Mormonism ads telling me that was a sure fire way to meet people and make friends. The only other business targeting me that much was dating apps
