Actually, about 31% of the world's people are Christian. That means 69% would not see someone "proselytizing" in poor neighborhoods as necessarily doing good. If he were handing out food or teaching people how to create a business or make a living, that would be a different story.
I did not "ask about what would a Moslem, Hindu or Buddhist think about this".
My question was directed at Heart and whether he would say "God has a special place for non-believers and fools...find Christ...now" to Moslems, Hindus, and Buddhists.
There are other ways to uplift the human spirit besides the prejudices of religion.
As a matter of fact, I am a humanist and I do not try to take things away from people of religion, but I do feel the need to speak out when someone pushing religion is presented as "uplifting" the poor.

You are now showing pure ignorance here. What do you think missionaries do; they go into helpless areas and help the people put their lives together. All goes to the fish story in the Bible: Give a man a fish to eat and you take care of him for a day; teach him to fish and you take care of him for life. A missionary not only helps those less fortunate in their physical world but in their spiritual world too. You call yourself a Humanist but you talk more like a scientologist that has not brought up the alien factor.
