Faithful
The faithful are those who dedicate their lives to their faith and make spreading it their full time job. The faithful typically espouse religion, but ideologies, cults, or even self-help programs can attract practitioners that could be considered 'devout' spreaders of it. Most are "lay" faithful, those who lead relatively sedentary lives, however, some faithful will put other work into spreading the faith, either in the form of humanitarian works, or serving as holy warriors spreading the faith by the sword.
