religious conviction
Deeply held faith
Religious conviction is a deeply held belief based on faith rather than evidence—the kind of certainty that shapes how someone lives.
The phrase often appears in legal contexts, where religious conviction may exempt someone from otherwise mandatory requirements: He refused military service on grounds of religious conviction.
A person of strong religious conviction lets their faith guide major decisions.
