depends on why you're religious in the first place. if it's because you're looking for the right answer and think you've found it in the teachings and practices of X religion then yeah proselytizing would make sense, but i'd still think you were an idiot, not because you believe in a deity but because you believe that it's somehow 'right'.

on the other hand, if you're religious because you've contemplated your self to a point that happens to be in line with an organized religion's dogma then i can't see why you'd be expecting others to reap the same rewards and benefits without having traveled your path. which just loops back to that Hendrix quote i started with.
