Grammar 101...
julilly:
Both of them follow the same rule...
Into is a preposition.
--- When he walked into the room, he found that the meeting had already started.
With in to, in is an adverb and to is a preposition.
--- She turned her paper in to the teacher. NOT She turned her paper into the teacher. (which would be magical!)
Same rules apply with onto and on to. Hope that helps! :)

it helps with "into" and "in to"
They held on to their religion, their faith. ... or They held onto their religion, their faith. I am leaning towards the first one but not sure if that's correct.
julilly:
I would choose the first one, "They held on to their religion". Try breaking it down "They held on // to their relgion". By saying "They held onto their religion" it implies something is on top of their religion, which isn't possible.
Purpura Lipstick:
That's what I was leaning towards but for some reason the rules for those escaped me today. Thanks for your help.
julilly:
No problem!
