Abstract
Author describes the relation of the young people to religion, reminding of the often mentioned return of the youngs to religion. In the last few decades there was very much research about the attitude of the young people to religion. For the better understanding of the hermeneutical context and the main terms of this relationship, author reminds of some religion perceptions of the youngs and of their concrete life related to the place, role and relation of the religious experience and the protagonism as well as the ambiguos perception of the religious in the concrete life of the young people. The real life of the contemporary young generation is characterised by the indifference for the religious sfere, also because of the crisis of the religious socialisation in the family as well as in the Church. Concluding, author gives some concrete proposals reminding of some critical points too.
