Conversions and National Baptisms

Events in which a ruler or a people adopted a new religion: the Conversion of Ashoka to Buddhism and the Baptism of Kievan Rus. An event belongs here when its cited article describes a ruler or a nation changing religion as a single act. It excludes the founding of orders and movements, migrations and the rebellions that sit in their own groups, and slow conversion over generations. A later fill lane places an entity here only when a source states that membership in words.
