==Description==
Religious '''conversion''' is the adoption of new religious [[beliefs]] that differ from the convert's previous beliefs. It involves a new religious [[identity]], or a [[change]] from one religious identity to another. Conversion requires internalization of the new belief system. It implies a new [[reference]] point for one's self identity and is a matter of belief and social [[structure]]—of both [[faith]] and affiliation. This typically entails the [[sincere]] avowal of a new belief [[system]], but may also present itself in other ways, such as adoption into an identity group or spiritual lineage.
There are different types of religion conversion which include, active conversion which is the [[free]] [[agency]], volitional [[choice]] to acquire new beliefs and religious identity, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_conversion marital conversion] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_conversion Secondary conversion], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathbed_conversion Deathbed conversion], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_conversion Forced conversion].
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proselytism Proselytism] is the [[act]] of attempting to convert another [[individual]] from a specific religion or belief system.
