What factors can lead a person to willingly change his/her religion?

It could be that the person they are planning to marry may be of another religion.  Such as catholics are only supposed to marry catholics.  It could also be that they had a bad experience with their prior religion and looked into different religions and found one they felt was more "in tune" with their personal beliefs.

it's all just some stupid ploy. why would you want to change anyway? God made you the way He did and you should stay that way. i'm sure it'll satisfy.

go an see maniratnams Bombay, my advice is dont change ur religion.. that will be stupid thing to do.\nToday u will change ur religion, next day u will change something else.. \nman u ask urself, do u love each other ? if yes, then why religion coming in between. U can even marry her without changing religion.\nTry to convince her the same, she is probably afraid of her society. Tell her not to worry as nothing complex will happen.\nYou both need not change anything just stay where u r, and love each other.

The more eccentric a religion is the more they need to "push" it onto others.  If you feel that you are constantly being "convinced" about religion, maybe it is time to revisit your faith.

Totally something you have to pray about. God will give you the answer. I have a friend in the methodist church and with some of the things going on, he wanted to leave. He feels God wants him to stay and try to change things.\nSo...pray about it.

Try finding out what religion you most identify with by putting together what you believe is true (void of influence from any ideas other people put in your head), and their relative importance. This test can let you do that: http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/\n\nOtherwise, I'd suggest a Neopagan religion. Many Neopagans take an eclectic take on faith, and piece together ideals from many different religious philosophies to define for themselves what is reasonable, rational, logical and sensible. I, myself, am an eclectic solitary Wiccan. Here is a site full of various Pagans of various paths from all around the world: http://www.witchvox.com/

First of all, If you change your religion for a woman, then you are insulting God. Changing your religion for any reason other than a sincere desire to follow God with your whole heart, is in reality, saying that whatever the reason you changed (in your case maybe a woman), that reason is more valuable to you than God is. Cry out to God, night and day, give yourself no rest until you have found the Way the Truth, and the Life.

I think that those who change religions are either confused or they find other religions to be more convenient with their lifestyles and so they change. I myself would never change my religion (I'm Catholic) and trust me being a Catholic is hard stuff, you have to forgive people all the time and not hold grudges (Jesus!!! Why are there so many a^s^s^holes out there!), so if I was confused I would choose another religion, but I'm not a coward, so I'll be a Catholic 4 life!

Well first of all, you can't just convince/force people to convert. Thats not your call, you can tell them what being an atheist is like and let them choose themselves. And since my dad is a muslim, i've come to now that you can no longer convert to anything else if you're a muslim. it's a sin. so even if they'd convert they'd probably feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

If the religion you are in is not based on promises that you can give to people who ASK for help, then it is useless. If you are a Christian and you have to judge someone who isn't, you are a Spaz and need to get a life. If you are condemning behaviour and the person didn't exactly ask you for you opinion you are disrespectful. As far as converting, that should be somebody's choice if they want to change to a religion.  I say all this because the above behaviour is not what God's wants Christians to do, I know this because I am one.

i don't think i can do it. But logically, changing religions to make our spouse happy is very normal.

Of course you can, Judaism has always welcomed converts! A person who converts TO Judaism becomes a Jew, and a Jew who converts to another religion is no longer a Jew. I urge you to talk to a rabbi in your area, and, should you go ahead and convert, WELCOME!

Yes, I have adopted other religions's beliefs as my own...\n\n"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it"\n- Buddha -\n\n“The individual who prosecutes a man, his brother, because he is not of the same opinion, is a monster”\n- Voltaire -

#1 Rely on God & the Holy Spirit to do the work of changing this person's heart.\n\n#2 Be willing to listen & respect his/her beliefs and right to choose - even though you don't agree.\n\n#3 Fill your mind & heart with God's Word, so that you will always be able to answer questions.\n\n#4 Let your faith & life be an example - you can tell what God is doing in your life w/o beating someone over the head with theology.\n\n#5 Be honest - admit when there is not a clear answer in scripture, when you're unsure of something, etc.
