That's pretty much my usual tactic. I have no desire to feed my energy to people like that.
The reason they try so hard to convince you how right they are is really their own ego trying to keep their own (possibly narrow) worldview intact. After all, if you or someone else is even remotely "right" then they might be "wrong", because to people like that, there is only "right and wrong" and no room for possibilities that may be neither.
We all create our own experiences of reality, our own reality, if you will. They're creating theirs, and you're creating yours. Their reality and your reality don't have to line up. This is the key: they don't understand that their reality is not the only possibility. You, on the other hand, have the opportunity, through open minded exploration and the willingness to discard beliefs, concepts, ideas, etc. that limit you, to know that all experiences are valid, and all realities are valid, in their own contexts.
Truth is, they could do the same, but most people who live in very limited and limiting belief systems have no desire or inclination to expand their awareness. They're wrapped in their beliefs, and that's their "identity", and changing their beliefs means, to them, possibly losing their identity. Don't let your own beliefs become your identity. They're not you, they're just what you're experiencing.

Ah, but who really is more shallow?
The person who will keep bashing and bashing something against someone until you both are red in the face with anger... or the person who accepts the other persons beliefs for what they are and walks away grounded and centered?

Religious belief is a very strong thing- most people who are very religious are for a reason, and their lives are too invested in their beliefs to be able to function without them.
Everyone looks at life in general from their own unique perspective, given that they have different experiences and points of view- and as you mature (or they, or whoever) their ideas about 'how things are' change. This is good- but there are some people that for one reason or another have become dependent on certain ideas, and anything that challenges them is scary for them- if they change (or even challenge) their views, their entire sense of self vanishes. So they will defend those ideas no matter what, and will attack anyone who postulates something different- it's a matter of survival for them.
So what to do? Depends. For one, you have to change perspectives and look at yourself. If your sense of self is not tied to your ideas, then it is not necessary to defend them (or even discuss it) with someone who is being aggressive or nosy about what you believe. So I think walking away is the best defense.
However, if the person doing the attacking is being very aggressive or disruptive in your life, then you have to decide how to handle it. Leave this person behind, make them no longer a part of your life? IDK it depends if this person is a member of your family.
One thing would be is to make clear that if this person wants to continue to be part of your life, they have to respect that these are your beliefs and even if they don't agree with them they must respect you and back off-
Another way is to learn about the religious history behind their religion, and 'know more' about it than they do, so when they come at you with some ill-conceived or incorrect interpretation of scripture, you can educate them as to what it 'really' said when it was written. And then tell them to back off.

For those of you that don't know by now I am usually always joking, especially when it comes to calling people crazy because they see aliens.
