Oracle had employees called Java Evangelists for a while but I think that was more than a decade ago. You never know when somebody gets their stereotypes though.
My memory is hazy but I think there may have been more of a cult of Java when Sun was in charge of things. They knew now to inspire a following.

I wouldn't call it a "cult", just normal technology hype. Yeah, it was there in the late 90s, but since at least 2010s, Java is a boring enterprise platform without much hype.
