Summary/Abstract: The present study, entitled Religion and Church. Situation and Correction, analyzes the phenomenon of religiousness. Its purpose is the presentation of the general characteristics of religion, and the analysis of the established parameters in the region of Transylvania. Christianity receives an outstanding importance in the fi eld of religion and the phenomenon of religiousness, due to its aspiration to harmonization, and the assertion of the mature, dedicated attitude of the religious person. The study points out the dangerous consequences of postmodernism for the tradition-based phenomenon of religiousness, and attempts to urge to an attitude against forgetting religious culture. The integrative inclusion of man into the fi eld of religion is an important requirement in this context. Religion focuses on the complexity of the human phenomenon.
