Sažetak

The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between religiosity and liberal versus conservative attitudes about sex. The
study involved 1287 residents of Montenegro over the age of 18, of which 848 women and 439 men. They completed the scale for
examining the liberality of attitudes about sex, which the authors of the article compiled for the purposes of this research.
Respondents declared their religiosity as believers, agnostics or atheists, so there were 957 believers, 171 atheists and 159 agnostics
in the sample. We found that agnostics are the most liberal in terms of attitudes about sex, then atheists and then believers. In
addition to religiosity, we examined the connection of attitudes about sex with gender, age, and education level. More educated
respondents proved to be more liberal than less educated ones. The women in our sample proved to be more conservative than the
men. We did not confirm the assumption that younger respondents would be more liberal than older ones, which can be partly
explained by the numerical inequality of age groups. The knowledge we have gained in this study can be of great use primarily as
guidelines for further research work, and can also be implemented in various educational programs.
