This Question is potentially broader than religion but, since it has been categorised in part as a religious Question, I will give that perspective.

Certain religions are known as 'proselytising' religions and strongly encourage their followers to convert others to that religion. So, Christians believe that they have a duty to convert followers of all other religions, to Christianity, while Muslims believe that they have a duty to convert followers of all other religions, to Islam. Judaism was once seen as a proselytising religion, but less so now.

Many Christians strongly believe that their religion is the one true religion and, for some, there may even be a sense that it is in some way irrational for others not to convert readily to Christianity, when told what Christians believe.

Also, it is a requirement among certain minor Christian sects and denominations for young adults to spend up to two years attempting to convert others.
