Catholics don't evangelize? They believe that religious faith is a personal matter that shouldn't be shoved down somebodys throat? Really? Talk to indigenous peoples like the Maya, etc. They were evangelized quite well It had to do more with the mentality of colonization than faith. The colonies were considered part of the colonizing country and were made to conform to mother country's societal standards. Every superpower does that even to this day.

Not really. The Spanish WENT to the New World to spread the faith. They were moved by the 7 centuries of Islamic colonization to cross the world and wage wage on the Moose-slime from the rear.
