THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Research problem: what is the understanding of religious education from the perspective of formulated by Archer morphogenetic approach; method: hermeneutics. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: In the following points are shown: 1) the controversy regarding the interpretation of religious education; 2) the theory of socialization formulated by Archer; 3) the analysis of religion from the perspective of morphogenesis; 4) the account of religious education in the light of morphogenesis. RESEARCH RESULTS: The independent from education experience of transcendental reality should be perceived as the source of religious development; religious education is a help in the interpretation of this experience and in the search for a modus vivendi in relation to the concerns from different orders: natural, practical, social and transcendent. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Because religious education refers to an independent experience, lack of religious education may result in difficulties in interpreting the experience of the Transcendence and formulating a modus vivendi or taking over the irrational or fundamentalist proposals present in culture.
