It also isolates them further from society as a whole; they're actively taking part in their disenfranchisement from public discourse, increasing their reliance on the cult they're a member of. It's a stone that hits many birds

I mean, this is literally the entire reason that the 'door knocker' religions (Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses) send out specifically their young people and recent converts to do it, and only after they have told/taught them a specific way to go about it (a way that is guaranteed to make people annoyed with them).

It is entirely about deepening their hold on the young and/or converted and has nothing to do with trying to "spread the word" or even about looking for new converts.

"Oh you poor boy, look at how the world spurned you when you were just trying to do a 'good thing', but We love and accept you."
