I don't respect false religions or anything that goes against my God, so I wouldn't be listening because I care about their religion...but I would be listening because I care about the person, and knowing what they believe will help me to know how to share Jesus with them.
p.s. I don't try to bring people to Jesus to make them happy (though that's a plus). I try to bring people to Jesus to save their souls.

If you're not going to respect their religion and don't want to hear it, how can you expect to learn anything about it? You need not abandon your religion to learn of theirs. Given the fact you would try to convert them (rather quickly), I doubt you would pay much attention to anything they say, so might as well just be up front and tell them you don't give a crap then immediately try to convert.
