- Anxiety, hoping for a cure in religion, when other things did not work well or fast enough. (going for the more Billy Graham like churches.) And then feel bad that you still can be depressed when you should be happy.
- Love for ritual, beauty and mystery in life. (going for Roman Catholic churches.) There was a hype of that amongst writers a few decades ago here.
- Getting hooked on the community, or the language it brings to give words to things otherwise unspeakable. Often the least proselyting way of conversion.
- Temporal lobe epilepsy. (that can come with dramatic urges in the religious realm.)
- Social justice/life improvement. Can be found among oppressed people, when a church dares to stand up for them.
