Summary/Abstract: The existing models of religious instruction in the countries in the region continue to evoke opposing views, grounded first and foremost on arguments of principle character. There is a lack of comprehensive empirical researches which would clarify the dilemma on the effects and consequences of introducing religious instruction in the post socialist period. As a result, arguments on the validity of introducing religious instruction in the public schools are often based on randomly introduced half-truths. Regardless of the fact that there is a large list of reasons given, there are two arguments which are main with respect to the legitimacy of introducing religious instruction into the public schools. The first reason being righteousness, and the thesis that religious instruction is not being introduced, but that it is being reintroduced into the public schools after it was forcefully eliminated following the Second World War. Secondly, the introduction of religious instruction is justified with the thesis that it is a fundamental human right and that the state should enable its fulfillment.
