Answer 1

Good for you and praise the Lord, I am not sure about Indian laws but in the US you don't need to tell a soul about what religion you are. I am happy to hear you made the best decision in your life and it will change your life forever. God bless.

Answer 2

Find someone who knows how to spell in english. and then forge your documents properly.

Answer 3

OK all you have to do is: go to Mumbai City Center, take off your clothes, make a handstand and scream as loud as you can : I'M CHRISTIAN 3times ( this is how it suppose to be) and when the police comes ( of course to take you to the CHURCH ) you just stand up fall in their feet and take an "ARSHIVAT" . That's it!

good luck

Answer 4

nothing, it is you and Gods business. In America you worship who or what you want

Answer 5

Why on Earth would you do that? Sucks to be you now...

Answer 6

Welcome!  Being a Christian is amazing.  You get to have a close personal relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ.  As far as what to do, I really don't know.  I just wanted to say congratulations.

Answer 7

You have vhanged your religion = all that matters.

Unless India has religion listed in passports (I've never seen any country have it) there is no need to register it to any state id registry.

Changing the religious views does not force anyone to change their name.

Contact a priest at some christian church in your location - they will be able to tell you if you should notify any tax office etc (or if there is any difference for you taxwise what you believe in).
