But if they do not want to convert to Islam, it's OK. As long as they have know the truth about Islam, I am happy.
This sounds like you only clear any misconceptions/lies against Islaam and not actually invite them to embrace Islaam. Clearing up lies against Islaam is good and a part of Dawah, but the ACTUAL Dawah to the Non Muslims is to
invite them to embrace Islaam. The Prophet [saw] said: I will continue to call the people until they say the Shahaadah. Yes, it is Haraam to force someone to become Muslim, but we should always encourage them to become Muslims

Brother, you are implying some serious things here. From your statements, it sounds like you think that trying to convert people to Islaam [invite/encourage them to embrace Islaam] is not a respectable thing to do... If this is what you are trying to say, then you should change your views on this - as I have mentioned the Prophet [saw] did this.
And as for respecting other religions, we dont respect other peoples false beliefs...

I heard a brother once told me that our good deeds will decrease and be given to another Muslim if we fail to maintain a call to what is right and forbid what is wrong to the Muslim we know at the day of judgement. So based on this, I thought that if I didn't give da'wah to non-muslims I would be sinning or dragged to hell..
I dont know about getting dragged by non-muslims, but yes you would be sinning if you are not engaged in Dawah. It is obliged for you to give Dawah to the non-muslims or they would blame you on the Day of Judgement
