"Even though every religion relys on it"

Not all of them rely on evangelizing. In fact I think at least one, Sikhism, makes a point of not Evangelizing. Also Rastafarianism, Taoism, Shintoism and I believe the Baha'i Faith don't really have a tradition of Evangelism. I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them at the moment.

Lastly just in case anyone would like to now, I'm also an unbeliever of sorts, I'm a Naturalistic Pantheist. I don't believe in any actual gods or anything metaphysical but rather I celebrate and revere what Dawkins would probably call the "Numinous" qualities of the Natural World and the fact that every single living creature in this world is genetically related to each other.
