Backsliding is a term used within Christianity
The term 'backsliding' is used in English in other religions, not only Christianity, aside from the concept of reverting to former 'sinful' behaviour being pretty universal in many languages across the world. It's not convincng as a ' theology phenomenon' either, it is more a description of some religious behaviour, i.e. more to do with religion than having any particular connection with God. Backsliding has also been used in many instances to describe the situation of former criminals returning to their past law-breaking behaviour, dieters returning to bad eating habits etc.
