I'm not sure where you got the religious habit idea

but I'd imagine it's just like English in many ways

When we say, "Just a second" We don't mean "One second is all", but "Wait for awhile before I can assist you"

Or maybe a better example would be tons. 十分 can also mean plenty. Tons means a lot.
