The paper examines how people who were not brought up in a confessional manner create religious beliefs. Given that in the upbringing process, values and identity patterns are instilled in the child from the earliest age, and religiosity also falls within these frameworks, the paper will focus on people who did not have a religious upbringing from a young age. Whether it's growing up in atheist or non-religious families or in families with lukewarm faith. The problematic topic is treated through the prism of (post)modern secularization, the pastoral activity of the Church, but also from a psychological aspect. The topic is addressed through the reading of earlier research and the analysis of conversations with people who found faith later in life, regardless of their religious upbringing. The aim of the work is to look at the life circumstances and social context that may cause an interest in religion in people who did not receive religious encouragement from their immediate environment at an early age. The interviewed interlocutors are of different ages and come from different circumstances and times. The paper tries to answer how much differences in the context are or are not determinants for religious development and what are the most common causes of turning towards confessionalism. Also, the influence of today's spirituality on the choice of confessional or nonconfessional is considered
