A conversion that goes in the opposite direction; changing from one belief, religion, or state back to what one previously held.
From counter- (against) + conversion. Conversion comes from Latin convertere, from con- (together) + vertere (to turn), meaning 'to turn together or transform.'
Religious history shows counterconversion patterns are complex—people who convert and then counterconvert often become the most passionate defenders of their new faith, suggesting identity is about the journey, not the destination.
