evangelism

Spreading the faith

Evangelism is zealous preaching or advocacy, originally and still primarily associated with spreading the Christian gospel.

The word implies active persuasion rather than passive belief: street evangelism, door-to-door evangelism.

The meaning has expanded to enthusiastic promotion of any cause or product: brand evangelism, tech evangelism.
