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.

Would some one really believe in something they did not think was right? Your last part seems more inclined with spirituality rather than religion. Religion can be used for finding ones spirituality and help them find a sense of happiness beyond traditional things but no one doing true introspective self realization internally will ever be in line with organized religious dogma. There are many things can cloud this sense of internal resonation.
