Re: Evangelizing
I don’t think I have ever once come across an instance of this. Certainly not in the door to door salesman manner of Mormonism. I understand why believers think that any challenge to their beliefs is by implication some sort of recruitment to atheism, but I disagree with that. It could lead former Mormons to many places, other religions, pantheism, polytheism, agnosticism, etc.

Re: Evangelizing
I can be wrong, but the term “evangelize” is used specifically to denote converting someone to Christianity. I know I’m being pedantic, but one can’t really evangelize atheism or ex-Mo’ism.
Can you give us a couple of examples where ex-Mo’s are actively seeking out Mo’s to convert into ex-Mo’s?

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

I believe the OP read, “ex-mo's trying to recruit new ex-Mo's to non-belief.” I didn’t read it as trying to convert Mo’s to non-belief.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 10:08 pmI can be wrong, but the term “evangelize” is used specifically to denote converting someone to Christianity.
