In the US we have Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses that do this; are there any similar in the UK and what kind of religion do they proselytize?

    spreading the word of jehova is an important aspect of their religion, so they tend to do it wherever they safely can

      There’s a darker aspect to it too, because the church elders know that the people they visit are not likely to be receptive, and many of them will be outright rude.

      Debriefing the returning members is a big part of the process, and helps to reinforce the idea that the church is warm and welcoming, while the outside world is cod and uncaring.
