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.
