Bible pounder
Fire-and-brimstone sermonizer
A Bible pounder is someone who aggressively promotes Christian beliefs, especially through literal interpretation of scripture.
The term is dismissive, suggesting zealotry and closed-mindedness: My uncle's a Bible pounder who thinks evolution is a hoax.
Also Bible thumper, Bible beater.
