This has been the formula for their proselytising and missionariating and conversions from the time they took up the spear with the knife on the end of it in support of Constantine. Go into a society, give the members a choice of either converting or being excluded (including eliminated). Inclusion involved incorporating the existing elements of religious devotion (Xmas, Easter, et cetera) until such a time as the intended religious focus was strong enough to then exclude them. In so doing, the conversionists appeared friendly and courteous and accommodating until all of the indigenous beliefs were discredited or otherwise unpopularised. Both ways until it's their way.
