David's post is just a bit verbose.  Here's my definition.

1. Evangelism is the practice performed by annoying busybodies who butt into folks' business by telling said folks they must accept Jesus or else burn forever in hell.

Then there are their secular equivalents you would know them as liberals, progressives and socialists to name a few.  Their god is the state and it is far less merciful.  Come to think of it their followers are even more destructive than Christians have ever managed on their worst day.

This is why do gooders of all types are truly terrifying since they believe their good intentions justify their actions no matter how evil the results are.  Which explains Antifa and their antics.

I think the label progressive fits me better that the alternatives listed.  I reject the Agricultural Age, notably kings, slavery and autocratic government.  I would work to address future anticipated problems, such as waste, global warming and population, though I see that those who live in less populous areas than I would consider these problems less.  I hold to the Enlightenment virtues of equality, human rights and democracy.  I see the virtues of using taxes to provide services, though I acknowledge some taxed services might be less effective or not effective in less populous regions.

I fail to see how any of the above is religious, is the equivalent of the Bible or Jesus's teaching.

I know you are sincere and intense in your belief in your stereotypes, that you are projecting ideas on many, and these ideas are clearly false, but it does little good to present how false they are.  How can one hold a discussion with someone when they think you believe many things that you do not?

At least you are good in illustrating the dangers and falsehoods of stereotypical thinking, in attributing false motivation to people, and thus your logic falls meaninglessly into space.
