It's often said Buddhism is not so much a religion, more a philosophy.

But even for actual religions, evangelism isn't the *only* way they spread.

How does rationality spread?

That question isn't as irrelevant as it might seem, because Buddhism in its purest form is an anti-viral agent, and perfectly (I mean *perfectly*) compatible with rationality.

Does saying that make me a Buddhist evangelist? :-)

If it does, this list is *full* of rationalist evangelists!
