Forced conversion

adoption of a different religion or irreligion under duress

When talking about people, forced conversion is the fact that a person is forced to take another religion. People cannot decide freely, if they want to change their religion, but they are forced to do this. In secret, they may still practice their old religion, while to the outside they show as a convert, who has taken the new religion.
