I do not know what dictionary you use but here is the general agreed meaning of the word according to the dictionaries I have checked. And I did check because I thought I had used the word in the wrong context...

Past tense: proselytized; past participle: proselytized; gerund or present participle: proselytizing; verb: proselytise; 3rd person present: proselytises; past tense: proselytised; past participle: proselytised; gerund or present participle: proselytising
  1. convert or attempt to convert (someone) from one religion, belief, or opinion to another.

I thought the use of the word is akin to using "cult" for "denomination" or "bitch" for "woman".
