I’ve seen Krishna followers at the airport, but I think they just wanted money.

The motivation is quite different between Muslim and Christian

Muslims want to conquer the world

Christians want to offer salvation

I think nearly all of them do, although many don’t command their adherents to as much as Christianity and Islam, but it seems to be prevalent in nearly all major organized religions. Even if it isn’t commanded or required by some sort of scripture passage in their holy text, it’s pretty much a basic part of a religion to try and spread it and get people to join it and warn people of the dangers of any religion that isn’t their own …see first answer for example.

I think Christianity is so prevalent because it was and still is the dominant religion in Europe, and when the European empires were invading and conquering lands that weren’t their’s, they spread their religion there … I think some past European powers actually invaded some places for the sole purpose of spreading Christianity. The Spanish Inquisition is an example, although that wasn’t really an invasion just a purging of non-Christians within Spain.

According to Judaism, all non-Jews are bound by the Seven Laws of Noah.

“G-d gave Noah and all his descendants (B’nei Noach or ‘children of Noah’) seven commandments that they are to obey. These seven commandments are symbolized by the seven colors of the rainbow. These Seven Commandments (mitzvot) are not arbitrary laws, but rather G-d’s plan for mankind. Adherence to this moral code guarantees harmony among ourselves, with the rest of Creation, and with G-d. Non-Jews who (1) reject all idolatrous ideas and accept the kingship of the One G-d, (2) accept the priesthood of the Jewish people as the guardians and teachers of Torah, and (3) commit to following the seven commandments revealed to Noah are called B’nei Noach (aka Noachides) or ‘Children of Noah.'”

“In Rambam’s Hilchot Melachim 8:10 we learn ‘Moses was commanded by the Almighty to compel all the inhabitants of the world to accept the laws given Noah’s descendants. If one does not accept these laws, he should be executed.'”
