Abstract
ABSTRACT It is generally accepted that religiosity is a reflection of a child’s experiences at home, of religious family practices, and of the knowledge gained at school. I assume that religiosity is a form of individual experience and that the image of God is part of this experience. The aim of this research was to reveal the different images of God and the differences in religiosity among the children of Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant denominations. For the purposes of this work, all of the previously described environments were addressed as religiously aligned environments. The topic presented in this article shows new perspectives of the children’s spirituality in the context of the acquired experiences of religiosity. The author tried to achieve this by conducting 82 interviews with children. This article concerns mainly with the analysis of conversations with children, and through this the author tries to show the children’s image of God.
