Proselytism
Attempting to convert others to a religion / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proselytism (/ˈprɒsəlɪtɪzəm/) is the policy of attempting to convert people's religious or political beliefs.[1][2][3] Carrying out attempts to instill beliefs can be called proselytization.[4]
Sally Sledge discusses religious proselytization as the marketing of religious messages.[5] Proselytism is illegal in some countries.[6] Some draw distinctions between evangelism (or da'wah in Islamic terminology) and proselytism, regarding proselytism as involuntary or coerced; the two terms can also be understood to merely be synonyms.[7][8][9]
