Dude, I would totally consider Baptist to UU to be a major cultural shift!
My dad believes that the only religion you can truly commit yourself to spiritually is one you've converted to.
I suppose if you raise kids in an a-religious environment (or a omni-religious environment?) where no one POV gets more weight than the rest, than if the child embraces a religious (or political or social) mindset, this is a type of conversion. It's just movement from an apositional POV to preferential POV.
Or, uh, something. I have a chapter to edit. Bleah.
