find religion
Embrace spiritual faith
To find religion is to undergo a sudden conversion or moral awakening, especially after a period of indifference or misconduct.
The phrase often carries skepticism about the convert's sincerity: He found religion right before his parole hearing.
More broadly, it describes any abrupt shift toward earnest commitment: The company found religion about cybersecurity after the breach.
