My cynical take on the issue: Recruiting and breeding are essential to survival. More church members equals more money and more influence. That’s why churches are against birth control and abortion.

Proselytizing and “witnessing” are recruitment tools.

Gives them a false sense of superiority, when I believe it's just a sign of fear.

There are nonprofit Christian organizations, who travel the world to help others. For many however, the main goal is to preach Christianity and convert as many people as they can. Now, these people really believe that god or Jesus, asked them to do that. First of all the organizations they are in deeply support this collective thinking and fuel their mind with the power of doing such a good thing. Preaching and converting. Although not all of them but many, mainly those who are not in a mission, have so much sin on their soul that screaming around how Christians they are, will make them pure. Others, just became “aggressive”, not understanding why others can live so deeply in sin without believing in something that it’s so obvious for them. And because of these sinful people, there is so much tragedy in the world. So in a way they are in a mission. But just don’t know how to be kind.

Yeah, tends to be christians , jehovahs' that stop people at supermarkets, ya don't have muslims, jews, or any other faiths pushing in that way

Why is it annoying to you? I don't feel threaten or annoyed when they approach me. Are You a Target of Free Speech?

It is their cult, and they want to share it. Maybe it is about all they have. What else are they engaged in?

I guess they thing they are evangelizing mankind. Poor idiots.

Having lived in Colorado for a few years, I don't think it's all of Colorado. I get the sense that the Air Force Academy has a pretty big influence on the community in Colorado Springs. It seems to me that in the US, a large military presence often goes hand-in-hand with in-your-face Christianity. Ironic for a religion that preaches peace...
