Teenage Religion
This article examines religiousness among Finnish 8th and 9th graders. It is explored using the RJT, an instrument developed on the basis of religious judgment theory. The frame of reference processes teenage religiousness and Oser’s theory. The research data are based on a survey in which 617 adolescents from four different localities participated. According to the theory of Religious Judgment five sum variables were made to describe religiousness. The results prove a low level of religiousness in adolescence, some gender differences and associations between age and religiousness. The effect of home religious upbringing was greater than the effect of school religious education.
