Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to prove the importance of the formative valence of the religious education, in forming and development of the moral conscience and conduct of the young generation, in the context of major changes, brought by postmodernism. Thus, we will try to identify solutions, pertinent arguments, strategies and methods of attracting the young generations to come close to the authentic Christian values, reunited under the sign of infinite love of Jesus Christ for people. We consider important the youth relationship with Divinity because starting with adolescence (even preadolescence) the forming of the self-image in the spirit of religious, sacred values, helps him/her to overcome easier the daily obstacles by meditation, humility, prayers. Faith in God has a spiritual weight and offers to youth trust in own forces. Religious faith proves to be essential in offering a goal and defining the people desires, aspirations, thoughts and actions. For many young people that do not refuse the religious experience and search the basis of faith values, religion and spirituality proved to be important sources of hope, ideals and lifemodels that can influence the course of their identity development in the adolescence period. It is necessary a permanent dialog with young generations that are opened to the spiritual life or are searching it. Thus, there is the risk to find it in another part, to stop from their searches being disappointed or blasé or to be satisfied with authenticity appearances.
