Mumia is still in Prison, ergo no 1st Amendment for him, except his appeals lawyer...

What other parts of the First Amendment did he lose? Can he be forced to convert to Episcopalianism?

Study the case law, and find out. Incarcerated prisoners are held essentially to have lost all of their rights until and unless a State or Federal Supreme Court decides otherwise.

Unfortunately for you, your attempt at a clever, snarky answer betrays some ignorance on the question. What other First Amendment rights did he lose? Well, we know he lost nearly all of his rights to free association, don't we? We know he cannot join a union, and we know that his religious liberty is severely circumscribed. We know that he is not as free to petition government officials for redress of grievances as you and I. The list of what rights he's lost is a lot longer than you think.
