Summary/Abstract: Politology of Religion, one of the youngest in the field of political sciences, and non-theological sciences on religion, had its forerunners. One of the most important forerunners was Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859). In his works Tocqueville showed in detail how the French Enlightenment philosopher’s thesis, on economic underdevelopment and ignorance as the main sources of religion, are wrong. Also he showed that each religion has a political doctrine. That’s why religion and politics are inseparable for him. This induced political scientists to analyze how religion affects on political attitudes. Dealing in this way Alexis de Tocqueville contributed to the birth of Politiology of religion.
