2) More importantly as far as I am concerned - Why does anyone think this matters? What does it tell us about the relative worth of different religions if people are converting from one to another?
IMHO, religious wars occur when NAMES are used as the fulcrum test of belief in God. It becomes, MY GOD IS GREATER THAN YOUR GOD. Had no names been attached, as with Christianity and Islam - the only two religions which demand right of exclusiveity by virtue of names attached, the political corruptions would have given religion a better image. It remains a mystery why an indescribable and indefinable universe maker should be tampered with names.
