Not so. There is a huge swath of religions that are basically unconcerned about any form of proselytisation. Judaism is probably the most familiar western religion where this is the case. As far as they are concerned, whether you are Jewish or not is not in any way their problem or responsibility.

Christianity is certainly unique in this regard, and I don't know enough about Islam to comment. But from what I do know, it is not "evangelistic" in the same sense. When was the last time you were on the receiving end of Islamic conversion propaganda, or opened your door to a Muslim evangelist?
