Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research is to find out in what degree religious identity in Serbian society has become a self-governed identity, a kind of an identity for itself, or, in what degree it is still part of national identity. Is the religious belonging (religious identity) a reliable mark of ethnicity and, if so, in what measure? The research has been done on the participants of student protest (SP) in Belgrade in winter 1996/97. The relationship between religious belonging (religious identity) and national identity is observed in relation to universal processes of cosmopolitization, individualization and retraditionalization.
