What Paul did in the Areopagus wasn't proselytizing in this modern derogated sense. He didn't offer tangible bribes in exchange for conversion (housing, jobs, medical care, food). He didn't recruit children without their parents' knowledge or consent. He didn't use emotional manipulation. That is proselytism. He went to a forum and made a straight, honest and persuasive appeal to his fellow citizens. That is evangelism.
That’s why we have dictionaries. What is silly is the blatant attempts to rework the English language to suit religious prejudice.
To proselytize simply means to attempt to change a persons view or opinion whatever the message. To evangelize is to use a specific message to convert or change a view. Six of one, half dozen of another.
