I disagree that no one has ever been guilt tripped into a real, or as real as to make no difference, conversion.
We tend to suppose people have clear internal definitions of what fact or truth is, and would evaluate how closely a proposition meet the definition of fact or truth by assessing objective, external, evidence for or against it. So we suppose if religion didn't match a person's internal definition for factual, than that person could not be guilt tripped into any conversion that would result the religion being assessed as factual anyway.
I think that supposition is not really true with many people. Many people have no clear internal definition of what is true and what is factual. Therefore they do not have any repeatable or consistent way to measure what is true and what is factual. Instead they let a complex smog of feelings and emotions dictate to them what they would accept as being true and factual. Such people certainly can be guilt tripped into a real conversion.
