Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to emphasize some important aspects of the present researches regarding the relation between religiosity and health, with an accent on the results of the scientific research from Romania. As the numerous studies made at an international level in this area, the studies from Romania have emphasized especially the fact that, in front of a stressful event, people with a high level of religiosity adopt in bigger proportion strategies of religious coping, for reducing the stress, like the pray and redefining our own values. In a society opened to different cultural and religious offers, as it is the pluralist nowadays society, we consider it is necessary to have a deepening of the relation between religious experience, the world of values and the way of acting, especially in the case of younger generations.
