So, from your perspective it is real conversion that stops militant religious movements.
Hmmm. Interesting. I would have to agree from a spiritual perspective.
But were, say, the Crusades stopped because everyone had a true conversion experience? From a Geopolitical perspective in a fallen world, I'm just not sure that sufficiently answers the question. There are plenty of humanists and nonbelievers that are in favor of stopping militant and extremist religious behavior. And a conversion experience doesn't account for that.
