Summary/Abstract: Religious concepts are sensitive to personal and cultural influences. Research data have attempted to find a universal theory that explains individuals' religious experiences. Each person has a different interpretation of religious concepts because a number of factors (environment, education, religious experiences, socio-economic status) act on each of us. In this study, we aim to analyze research that was conducted between 2005-2023 on the representation of God in childhood. We note that there is not a large body of research on this topic, let alone in our country.
