proselytism
n.
conversion to another religion or opinion
Proselytism
Proselytism is the practice of attempting to convert people to another opinion, usually another religion. The word proselytism is derived ultimately from the
Greek language prefix 'pros' (towards) and the verb 'erchomai' (I come). Historically in the
New Testament, the word
proselyte denoted a person who had converted to the
Jewish religion. Though the word proselytism was originally tied to Christianity, it is also used to refer to other religions' attempts to
convert people to their beliefs or even any attempt to convert people to another point of view, religious or not. Today, the connotations of the word proselytism are often negative but this article will use the word neutrally to refer to any attempts to convert a person or people to another faith.
