Most people either stay with their religion of origin (the religion they were brought up in) or become agnostic (do not follow a religion). For those people for whom religion is of great importance they may switch religions because of theological differences with their current religion. In most cases where people convert, this is due to social reasons such as marriage or other changes in family arrangement. Changing faith for reasons other than personal convictions is known as secondary conversion. Some religions welcome newcomers for whatever reasons whereas other discourage secondary conversion.

People who change religion due to conviction of faith often due so because their current religion does not fulfill their theological needs. Perhaps it is contrary to aspects of their lifestyle etc. Most such conversions are usually between denominations rather than between actual religions, although these major jumps do happen.
