If anyone in the govt is working on an anti-conversion law, I have a draft, will be happy to share.

What does this mean?
1. *Offering* incentives for conversion must be grounds for criminal charges, whether or not the conversion takes place. A fine must be levied which is 10x the incentive offered, a portion must go to the person reporting.

2. Receiving compensation for converting others must be outlawed. So if a priest or maulvi or missionary has a "sales quota" and receives money when they convert others, this must be considered criminal like any other mafia. This is critical.
3. Institutions/NGOs/Churches etc which offer training or compensation, in cash or kind, to the sales force for converting others must be made illegal and their asset subject to confiscation.
One must tackle the value chain of Institutional conversion, not just the end point.

4. Any proselytizing to children must be made completely illegal, this includes schools and orphanages. This should be like "age of consent" laws. If minor are not able to consent to physical acts, how can they give informed consent to change of religion? It is soul rape.
5. All unsolicited attempts to convert should be treated like spam, including attempts to "plant" churches disproportionate to the population of "believers" being served in an area.
If I want to "find Jesus" I can Google him, there is no need to spam me.

The lack of tackling institutional conversion is the reason anti-conversion laws so far are completely ineffective. You can't and don't want to prevent people from changing, accepting, or rejecting a religion. And you shouldn't.
But we must stop religious MNCs and imperialism.

Yes, imperialists have tried to destroy us for centuries. We shall prevail.
It is not a Church, it is a dagger through the native heart, a precursor to genocide. How many native peoples has your "loving god" already wiped out?

People wanting to revert to the native or ancestral religion, followed within the last 30 generations, should not be considered conversion and should not be subject to these provisions.
Institutionally there is. Bust any evangelist on the street and they would be getting paid per convert.
