Religious conversion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Religious convert)
Religious conversion is the adoption of a new religious identity, or a change from one religious identity to another. "Conversion" can take place not only from one religion to another, but also between different denominations, within the same faith, when this involves a felt change of identity rather than other reasons such as convenience.
