But as an institution, Christianity has historically encouraged it more than any other. Or at the very least, have been most successful at expanding their conversion efforts worldwide. Just ask native Americans and Africans and European pagans, and just about everyone during the crusades, and countless island nations, and...well you get the point.
I'm sure there are Jews that have taken it upon themselves to proselytize their religion, but if they do so it's without encouragement from any accepted part of the community or the world-wide institution such as it exists.
