(Christianity, humorous) A period of religious zeal following a religious conversion, often perceived as arrogant.

But after God has initially brought believers into an understanding of the preciousness of sovereign election, they frequently enter what a friend of mine called the “cage” stage—the time when the newly-convinced “Calvinist” ought to be locked into a cage and not let out until he stabilizes, or the medication kicks in. […] But unfortunately, there are some who never grow out of the cage stage, and this type of personality often thinks he is called to the ministry.
