However, I strongly believe in the freedom of religion, including the right of individuals to change their religion for any reason.
I have no problem with spontaneous conviction-driven self-motivated conversion without inducements. That is religious freedom. This conversion is most often forced on mostly poor people in third world countries. Muslim countries don't tolerate the missionaries. Give me an estimate of the number of Muslims who have been converted to christianity in Arab nations in the last year. How many brahmins were converted in the recent past to christianity compared to other castes?

Other examples of intramural and race intolerance: The Indian Christians residing in USA are not particularly welcome and barely tolerated in US Churches, because of their race, color, eating habits, dress habits etc. They just don't fit the image. The Indian Christians have banded together and building their own churches or attending churches with international flavor. To be fair, I must say that the Indian Christians have their own way of conducting church functions & matters. How come that Blacks belonging to the same denomination have a separate church in the same town? Because of race. The question of race is not solved. Why are black churches burnt down?
