What do I mean by adopting and adapting?
When you adopt a religion you will take the religion as it is and follow everything in the religion and change all your current lifestyle to follow the lifestyle the religion teaches. You will not bring any of your current culture believe or custom to this religion you are adopting because when you adopt a religion you truly believe that this religion is true and what you have believe in before was just a delusion.
When you adapt a religion, you will make some change to you current lifestyle and/or some change to the religion you are adapting so that you can still maintain some of your current lifestyle and at the same time taking on that religion. This is normally done by those unorthodox religion. Religion won't adapt or change through time, however people change the religion. People who adapt the religion will make changes and made the religion changed through time.
For those who adopt to their religion, they will hold on tight to their religion and will not change even the tiniest thing in their religion while those who adapt will keep on updating their religion so that it will stay at par with the current changes of life.
However, many of us don't really have a choice on adopting or adapting a religion because we may be born into a family where the religion has already been chosen by our parent or if not chosen they will eventually brain wash us to believe in it and either way you are still an adopter or adapter. So which type are you? An adopter or an adapter?
