- Some folks use the teachings of Christianity as the qualitative measure of anything.
- Some folks use the teachings of another religion as the qualitative measure of anything.
- Some folks use Life as the qualitative measure of anything.
- Some use jargon, acronyms, slogans, bumper stickers, memes. We call these folks … Jargonols, to shorten the concept of their existence into a single word, as they do when taking measure.
- If it's not yet in the dictionary, pen a note to Merriam, or Webster, or their agents.

Why on earth do you suppose that Christianity in particular is described as a proselytizing faith? Some going door to door...others sending missionaries far and wide. Why? Because they are literally out to save souls. But what of those they don't reach? Those who were indoctrinated to worship and adore [and fear] other Gods or religious paths? Or were raised to believe in no God at all?
The irony here is that Jesus Christ Himself was a Jew.
And...
"An important tenet of Judaism is that God's will is for people to exercise free will. As such, proselytizing is generally regarded as offensive in Judaism. Consequently, Judaism generally does not proselytize non-Jews." wiki
As for the manner in which I construe the meaning of dasein here, that's just common sense. We get "thrown" out into a particular world at birth. Completely beyond our control. And, as such, we may or may not ever become aware of Jesus Christ. Our experiences as adults may or may not include contact with the Christian faith.
