“Most people join Christianity (and Islam) from what we call secondary motives. It seems to be a fact that religions have little chance of spreading upon their own merit. Freedom of choice is rarely involved in change of religion. Conversions in general take place, not because of new insights into reality, but are determined by factors over which most people have no control” (J.S. Trimingham, Islam in West Africa: A report of a Survey Undertaken in 1952, London, Wyamn & Sons, 1953, pp, 37-8).
