missionary zeal
Proselytizing passion intensity
Missionary zeal is intense, fervent enthusiasm for spreading a belief or cause, originally religious conversion but now applied broadly.
Someone with missionary zeal doesn't just hold convictions—they actively work to convert others: She pursued environmental activism with missionary zeal.
The phrase often carries a hint of excess, suggesting the person's fervor may overwhelm their audience.
