conversion therapy is not at all the same thing. conversion therapy is usually phycological abuse of already participating religious people who are trying to “convert” their sexual orientation to “normal”.
to convert someone is to try and get them to join your church.

What is the deal with religious people and conversion therapy?
Seleni@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
For most of them, it’s because they truly, deeply believe that if they don’t convert you, you’re going to burn in hell for eternity when you die.
For most of the leaders of those sorts of churches, it’s because more people means more money for that new private jet they’re saving up for.
