So if evolutionists convert Christians, then they are evolutionist missionaries.

People who believe and advocate the theory of evolution don't convert anybody. We just present the evidence and let anyone sane and rational enough to read and understand it convert themselves. This is in contrast to religion, where peer pressure, exploitation and encouragement of ignorance, and emotional manipulation are favoured tools for gaining followers.
Not even a little bit."Trust us, this is all true. No, there is no actual evidence, just trust us."
Evolutionist: "Here's all the evidence, what do you think about it? Anything to add? Any questions? Would you like to help discover more and refine the idea?"
There's a universe of difference.
What if they "convert" someone to one of the theories of gravity? Or to the Big Bang theory? Or to Atomic Theory?
Evolutionist is not a word.
And how do you categorize the billions of Christians who accept evolution? Accepting evolution does NOT automatically make someone an atheist, you know -- at least, you should.
So if evolutionists convert Christians ...
No actually it's more like if "evolutionists" educate Christians about facts, and thus the Christians can no longer reconcile reality with their religion... their religion was just made-up bullshit to begin with. The great thing about science is you don't have to "believe" in it. Science presents the best and most-plausible theories based on the current body of knowledge. You can examine ANY statement made by science for yourself and decide whether or not it is likely to be true. Religion on the other hand expressly forbids questioning the "truth" of the doctrine, for the specific purpose that most people who start asking questions start finding that the answer is religion is completely ridiculous.
Confused?
