I get that you are much more aware of how it works in Christianity and Islam, but there is no majority of non-proselytizing religions.
Such a thing cannot exist in a Nash equilibrium. Think about it. All current faiths (and for that matter, ideologies) have spread much faster than people spread. MUCH faster. So they all proselytized.
It is sometimes a little bit irritating to hear people make the wildest claims about quite a few religions. Often about Buddhism people make the most outlandish claims, which presumably includes "non-proselytizing" in your comment. Now please don't think I'm singling out Buddhism here, it's just an example.

- PhasmaFelis 8y agoYou are mistaken. Judaism, at least, does not proselytize. Some branches actively discourage converts, and a few refuse to acknowledge that conversion is even possible for the Gentile-born.
- ryacko 8y agoThe branch of Judaism that proselytzed and admitted Gentile converts became Christianity.
