A rare and informal American verb meaning to convert someone to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism), or more broadly to influence someone toward Mormon values and lifestyle. Used mostly in jocular or satirical contexts, Mormonize can carry a teasing tone — imagining an enthusiastic missionary effort applied to a friend or situation. It belongs to the same family of playful denominational verbs occasionally coined in American religious culture.
His Utah roommates spent three months trying to Mormonize him before they accepted he was a committed coffee drinker.
