Religious conversion—especially radical or sudden ones—can function as such an “[[Identity (psychology)|identity]] quake.” But studies show that while religiousness is linked to lower neuroticism / higher emotional stability on average, the effect sizes are usually modest (0.2–0.4 SD), not massive leaps.
