Conversion was not a widely known phenomenon in antiquity. Pagan religions had almost nothing like it.They were polytheistic, and anyone who decided, as a pagan, to worship a new or different god was never required to relinquish any former gods or their previous patterns of worship. Pagan religions were additive, not restrictive.
