Summary/Abstract: The philosophy of pacifism of Ksenija Atanasijević has been written about before, and in this paper, our intention is to point, through an analysis of her views on religion, as a pacifist concept, to the differences concerning these views, that existed in the Army as one of the most important government institutions. In order to better understand the time in which Ksenija Atanasijević was creating and developing her concept of pacifism, we will analyze the relationship between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and religious communities. The way that religion was recognized in the army of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia will be discussed as well. Religion was very important in the Army and it formed the basis for educating soldiers. Religion was the basis upon which combat morale was created. Using religion as one of the bases for her development of the concept of pacifism, Ksenija Atanasijević suggested that there was a similarity between all religious doctrines and considered that all people had a common origin.
