There are no anti-conversion laws, but there are plenty of instances of
vandalism of non-Christian places of worship such as temples and mosques, as
well as strong opposition to building of these structures in certain places in
America.
The American Christian right wing is very powerful and wealthy. Having lived
amicably among them in one of their political strongholds, I would contend that
they are much stronger and more organized than in India.
