вульг.
удариться в религию первонач. амер.

There had been a "revival" and everybody had "got religion"; not only the adults, but even the boys and girls. Tom went about, hoping against hope for the sight of one blessed sinful face, but disappointment crossed him everywhere. (M. Twain, ‘Tom Sawyer’, ch. XXIII) — В религиозных делах царило оживление, и все стали верующими. Не только взрослые, но и дети. Том ходил повсюду, тщетно надеясь встретить хоть одну грешную физиономию, но его все время постигало разочарование.

‘When a cop gets religion,’ said Jamieson, ‘you'd better watch out.’ (S. Heym, ‘Goldsborough’, ch. X) — - Когда полицейский вдруг обретает веру, - сказал Джемисон, - надо с ним быть поосторожнее.
