Converted

In Iran pomegranate juice is used in cooking and coloring rice, but not until recently

in North America has it been particularly popular.

Now with the enthusiasm of the newly converted, Americans have taken to pomegranate

juice as the antioxidant cure for many of our ills.

Does converted here has relation with religious conversion?

Thanks in advance.

This is probably not your clause, but its order leads to serious ambiguity, in my opinion.

I think the intended meaning would be better expressed by:

but in North America, it has not been particularly popular until recently.
