Rust Evangelism 

The practice where Rust developers (aka evangelists) and cult followers harass other developers, code maintainers, and open source communities in order to get them to submit to the borrow checker and rewrite everything in Rust. They're known to cite Stackoverflow surveys that Rust is so loved, and that memory safety is free in Rust.
You know, Rust Evangelists proposed that Linux be rewritten in Rust.
Man, the amount of Rust Evangelism on Hacker News is just insane.

TV Evangelism 

Scandal in the name of Jesus. See shit happens.
My aunt sent Billy Graham some money once, and after that, his harassment specialists pestered her for more money every month until she changed her number. She never did that again!

evangelism 

The American Christian Al-Qaeda
Believe that those who dont recognize god are sinners and are automatically dammed to hell.
Don't believe in judgment of morals or deeds only on how close minded you are (the more the better)
Also are afraid to question anything they dont understand simply convince themselves that god wants it like that
Many are closet homosexuals and pedophiles as well as meth heads and white trash

Although there is the occasional right minded evangelist (jimmy carter) these are exceptions to the rules and come few and far between
"Dude my dad made me join this crazy cult"
"Sweet, which one"
"CHRISTIANITY!!!!!!!!!"
"Which kind"
"EVANGELISM!!!!"
"That sucks, good luck bro"

evangelism 

A group of crazy Christians who believe that if you speak tongues, you're speaking "the words of the Lord!!" and faking seizers means you're embracing the holy spirit.

They are basically misled, ill-informed, cult-like religious freaks who dedicated their lives to evangelism.

They can be easily associated with American White Trash, though many other types of Americans participate, however it is seemingly predominately White Trash.
Tommy believes in evangelism. Tommy is insane and brainwashed. Poor Tommy.

toxic evangelism 

n.

The preaching of fire-and-brimstone hatemongers that defile Christian kindness in their own self-righteousness. Their influence creates negative perceptions of modern Christian churches. This is due largely in part through the controversial and outspoken actions and opinions of a few congregations, such as the Westboro Baptist Church.
Bill- "Who was that crazy guy yelling at you in the park?"

Ted- "Some nutter telling me that my Jesus wasn't the right one to be putting faith in. He was trying to sell his toxic evangelism and some people actually were listening to him."

Bill- "Yikes, no wonder people aren't going to churches anymore."
