(on why Jewish people do not proselytize)

It is just not an issue at all. I really do feel it has a lot to do with the “chosen people” concept, being confident in their beliefs and quite willing to allow others to believe differently.

There is quite a bit of insecurity expressed when one feels the need to get others to think like they do.

How about “hey, you like what you do, I like what I do. That’s cool.”

Personally, I am offended by bigots who feel only their way is right, whether it be their religion, lifestyle or their computer.

I hear ya. ...and that describes the Jewish mindset regarding those in other religions to a tee. That's why there's no proselytizing in Judaism. If Jews believed there were souls to be saved from a hellish eternity they'd undoubtedly be as enthusiastic about converting the world as Christians are. But they don't, so they aren't.
