They went down the steps and I got back up to open my door back up and there was 5 or 6 of them down at the bottom of the steps holding Bibles and probably discussing you to go harass next. I wish I knew these guys were coming that way I could set up some crazy-ass scenario to scare the bejesus out of them.

Or... you might meet them and see some of them are cool kats, some who like horror, and maybe you make some more cool friends in your new area?
Through work, I became good friends with a Jehovahs Witness. Well, actually was a friendly acquaintance with many JWs from a couple of different workplaces, but I was friends with guy in particular. Very cool guy. Didn't matter we disagreed on beliefs. I mean we disagree on things with everyone we know.
I know most of us don't want to be disturbed by an unannounced knock at the door, but neighbors will do exactly that to welcome you to the neighborhood... used to be they might bring you a pie.
But even it they didn't come over the first week to meet you, it's still a good thing to meet your neighbors, where they watch out for your house and property and vice versa; and you know who they are, have a good report, and sometimes you become friends and hangout.
It's really not all that different with these neighbors with a bible in hand meeting you. You just introduce yourself, if you have time you become acquainted. You can let them know you're not interested in talking about Jesus and the Bible, but you're happy to make new friends. It's not like you've never had a friend who was a christian, right?
