First, guiding people should be in a gentle and lenient way, for there should be no coercion in the matter of religion, as the Quran says. Second, guiding non Muslims does never mean pushing them away and alienating their religion- why? Because Islam came to include their religion with some modifications, but the main crux of it is the same: belief in One God, loving others, being truthful, tolerant, helpful, belief in the Next Life, etc. Allah could have left Judaism or Christianity as the final religions and that is it, but since He revealed a final religion, we are to follow it and not the abrogated ones. Islam is not limited to Muslims, it came to be followed by all people, and i have no more right in it than you.
I hope that you understand my point. I don't intend to offend any non Muslim by saying so, but it is the truth
