No KM, FYI: "born again" does not necessarily mean the person has changed his/her religious affiliation, but that he/she "has seen the light", or "has found true faith". I.o.w. that he/she has become 'reinvigorated' and fanatical/fundamentalist about his/her religion/religious affiliation and pushes it on their surroundings at every opportunity.
Afaik know the term is used only for Xtians, as in "born again Xtians". Not for Muslims, Jews, Hindus, etc. Although those can be just as fanatical/fundie about their faiths, obviously.
"Born again" whatevers are a royal PITA and should be shot on sight.
