Of course 99% of people are going to support any religion over being killed by their government. I don't understand the point you are trying to make.

Good point, but his question wasn’t whether they’d convert to some other religion or be slaughtered. That’s how Christianity spread though- it was both religion and government and neither paganism or Judaism was tolerated. Convert or die was how they evangelized after Rome adopted it as the official religion.

Islam, which is just an offshoot of a form of Christianity not supported by Rome that was practiced in Arabia, adopted the same practice for evangelism. Convert or die.

No other religions even tried to convert anyone. El Elyon -God most High - and father to the 70 sons of Asherah, divided the lands and set the boundaries of the states according to the people that lived there and assigned them one of his sons to be their patron deity. He assigned the nation state of Israel to his son Yahweh (which you would know as “the LORD”). See Deuteronomy 32:8-9

No other religion even felt the need to or wanted to evangelize, because that wouldn’t make any sense. Those people over there already had a god or gods… they wouldn’t want to worship mine anyway because mine has power over here, but not over there.

Yahweh couldn’t even accept worship of the Israelites in Egypt. The people had to wander out away from Egypt into the desert to worship him. Exodus 5, exodus 7:16

Naaman couldn’t leave Israel without taking two mule loads of Israelite soil with him so that he wouldn’t have to offer burnt offerings to other gods but rather so he could worship Yahweh. 2 Kings 5:17

Yahweh lost battles he guaranteed he would win (to Elisha the prophet) when he didn’t have home field advantage in 2 Kings 3:27.

The book of 1 Enoch, cherished as the most important book by the Dead Sea scrolls group called the Essenes (Jews who rejected the Pharisees and the Jerusalem temple practices) was the very first book with a concern of salvation for the gentiles. As Christianity is an offshoot of the Essene version of messianic Judaism, it was the first religion with the motivation for evangelism. It didn’t have real power until after Constantine and 30 years or so later became the official Roman religion. Islam is just a version of early Torah-observant Christianity also with goals for saving the gentiles.

The original premise of the OP should in my opinion focus more on radical Christianity and/or Islam attempting to exterminate non-believers.
