Religiosity of the academic: comments by the subjects and didactic application

Abstract

The present text adds recent results provided by a research on religiousness (understood as human capacity, historically and culturally determined, to elaborate meanings for the totality of existence) as it is experienced by undergraduates at PUC-SP. The data provided by the last two versions (3 and 4) of the quantitative / qualitative research questionnaire complete the initial versions. Consequently, this text analyses: A- the free comments written at the end of the questionnaire; B- the didactic experience involving powerful objects and the meanings attributed to them by the subjects, which make them portraits of the young religiousness.
