Religion is often considered a private matter. Saying someone 'tuli uskoon' can be a significant piece of news in a family. This region is known as the Finnish 'Bible Belt'. Here, 'tulla uskoon' is a very common and socially central concept. Among secular youth, the phrase is sometimes used ironically to describe someone becoming obsessed with a trend like veganism or a specific tech brand. Finnish films and books often use 'uskoontulo' as a dramatic device to show a character's redemption or descent into fanaticism.
