Allotoyahs or Nicheren Buddhists, who convince people that they are going to be punished if they don't live a certain way and convert others to their religions.

no, there is absolutely no such thing. Judaism has no eternal hell, and does not assert that it is the "only true path".
the closest to this you might find would be evangelical christians deceptively claiming to be jewish, under the names "Jews for Jesus" or "Messianic Jews" these people are not jewish whatsoever.
basically your afterlife is between you and God. some extremely ultra-observant might be intolerant of people who do not behave appropriately or according to their ways, near them, (for example heard of some places that people might throw soap at you for driving on the sabbath... but in general thats not really equivalent at all....)
Judaism has specific rules against proactively seeking converts. and in Judaism theres generally no reason you'd have any desire to. we do not feel that those who are not jewish are screwed as far as an afterlife goes anyway. its just between them and God.
edit: theres also no concept of "Original Sin" in Judaism either. thats a christian invention.

Not really, since the leaders in Jewish synagogues, the rabbis, are teachers, not preachers.

Nope. Jews don't encourage conversions because they believe you don't need to be Jewish (and accept 613 commandments) to get to heaven.

purely on account which you disbelieve in Jesus does not advise that he does not exist in actuality. the hearth and brimstone attitude does not artwork anymore. it particularly is out of date. It used to artwork properly, yet you're unlikely to get via to human beings at present with that attitude. i in my view desire to think of approximately Christ's splendor and his love.

No such thing in Judaism.

Is there difference between a Jewish person who does not have Jesus, and a non-believer?
We all have original sin, and need Jesus to be saved.
