Summary/Abstract: Religious development as a part of development psychology is one of the topics that are not given a due significance regarding the number of research works that deal with this topic and its theory. This article is focused upon the relevant phases of religious development in the period of adolescence. These phases and the changes on the cognitive plane, that are involved therein, were considered through the method of theoretical analysis. Results of that research indicate that religious development in the period of adolescence appears in three phases: evolving of the religious awareness, questioning and doubt of known religious convictions and attaining a clear attitude towards religion. In order to reach more relevant results that could tell us whether or not religious attitudes vary regarding the gender differences we are of the opinion that a survey analysis should be carried out. We believe this would place a topic in a broader context.
