Yes, I basically agree. But I think you have slightly misunderstand my argument. Many religions say both
1) You should convert people
2) You should help people
Obviously not all religions say these (for example Judaism is not very evangelical). My argument isn’t that religious people should proletize because of 2). My argument is that, given religious people’s other beliefs about heaven and hell, they should proletize because that is the most effective way of helping people. Even if their religion included no evangelical commandments, they should try to convert people as the most effective way of loving their neighbors. A secular EA charity might try to persuade people in the less economically developed countries to purify their water; a religious EA charity might try to persuade people in the developing world to say their hail marys.
