Moral Duty to Evangelize
A perceived ethical or spiritual obligation to spread one’s religious or ideological beliefs
You feel deep guilt when you don’t share your faith with others.
You view every social interaction as a potential conversion opportunity.
You worry someone’s eternal fate could be your fault if you stay silent.
Potential clinical implications (especially in high control settings)
Chronic guilt can develop, especially when “results” are lacking.
Interpersonal relationships and boundaries may become strained.
Genuine dialogue can be blocked, reducing empathy for differing beliefs.
