A. an ethnic religion -- a tribal, ethnic, or cultural religion such as Judaism or Hinduism. They are born into their religion, they don't go out of their way to seek converts.
The Neopagan movement is also a non-proselytizing religion. It is something that people tend to find on their own, and if it works for them, great. But we don't go out of our way to seek followers either. In another hundred years, it may evolve into a more tribal, hereditary religion, or it may become a proselytizing one.

The A would somewhat fit. They wouldn't be looking for converts outside their ethnicity, but that'd still leave the people who are of the same ethnicity and not members.
Perhaps some small tribal religion... that way all the members are automatically of the faith from birth.. and nobody from outside the tribe would qualify... so no need for proselytizing.

All Pagan religions. Pagans do not proselytize. Neither do Buddhists, Hindu, Jews, Jains, Zoroastrians, or Satanists.

A stone? Religion is a system of beliefs. A system of non-beliefs that doesn't try to convert other people to the same view? Some sort of non-system?

The opposite would be trying to convince someone that a particular religion should not be believed.

A non-proselytizing religion.
The Jews don't proselytize, because they are born into the fold, but amongst themselves they argue about doctrine.
So I think that there is really no such thing.

None of them are the opposite.
You can be any of those options and still proselytize for whatever you believe in.

The exact opposite is not a religion at all, it is quiet skepticism.
