Summary/Abstract: In the current context, the Religion teacher has to take into account several challenges, namely: increasing religious diversity, the relationship between religious education and the values of modern society, the integration of religious education into the school curriculum, the receptiveness of pupils and parents to religious education, cultural sensitivity from a religious point of view. The rural environment is characterised by a more homogeneous and traditional religiosity. Urban areas are characterised by religious diversity and pluralism. The relationship between religious education and the values of modern society in Romania and Europe is characterised by constant tensions and adaptations. Problems related to pedagogical methods and teacher training in religious education are dependent on the challenges of integrating religion into modern society. Cultural sensitivity contributes to the creation of an inclusive learning environment, which can improve student satisfaction and achievement.
