It’s possible to change religions without changing much about the fundamental beliefs. A Christian who exchanges the Bible as the holy book for the Koran or even for our sequences as the holy book still has the same belief structure.
I was personally surprised what happened when I eliminated a deep “Don’t talk to strangers” belief. No one who’s opinion I value would endorse that belief but it was still back in my head and had an effect that resulted in me interacting less openly with strangers.
Other beliefs such as that a person is worthless or unlovable are also hard to change even if the person spends time with people who believe that they have inherent worth and are lovable.
