Young people and religion

Summary/Abstract: The results obtained in this research study, as well as those from others carried out during the period of transition, clearly indicate an evident difference in the situation compared to data from more than two decades ago. They indicate a rising curve of religious feeling in our society. In fact, the results confirm the general hypothesis that, during the social transition, there has been a clear tendency towards a positive change in the attitudes of students vis-à-vis religion and religious matters in general. Finally, the author concludes that society and man can not live without God and without religion. Religion and belief are the essential needs of humans, which can be neither destroyed nor denied. The man who Schopenhauer defines as animal metaphysicum (a metaphysical being), is ‘incurably religious’,18 with the concept of the transcendent and the sacred, or holy, experience being an integral part of human beings.
