If God's followers convert people, are they "coveting the followers of their neighbor's God"?

Isn't that breaking one of the commandments?

    The commandment in question reads "Thou shalt not covet." To try and convert someone would only be a sin if you were having them worship you as a god, and that is another commandment altogether.

    Mostly, those covet people are not belong to GOD.'

    18: 13 Human compassion extends to neighbours, but the Lord's compassion extends to everyone; rebuking, correcting and teaching, bringing them back as a shepherd brings his flock.

    17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

    God blessing us, praise mercyful LORD.

    Followers of Jesus do not convert any one. We only point the way, in pointing to Jesus, God does the converting.

    This does not make sense but humor you and say no because anyone who changes their religion does so because they choose to.
