RELIGIOUS FEELING AND MORAL VALUES IN THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY

M. Rus, C. Vasile

Abstract

Before being subjected to ethnological, historical and psychosocial research, religion – in this case the issues regarding its essence, origin and development – represented a subject of reflection for generations of thinkers, with inherent oscillations and inconsistencies, which could be called the philosophy of religion. [9] In this paper, we discussed the connection between God and the human being, we talked about the human soul that can relate to God through religious feelings and worship. This relationship differs from one person to another, from one civilization to another, from the first religious forms that the history of religion can find to Christianity. [6] This study aims at highlighting the intensity of the religious feeling and at identifying the moral values of the participants in the study. 100 subjects, i.e. 50 women and 50 men of Christian religion from Romania, participated in this study. It is noteworthy that between the religious feeling and the moral values there is a direct and reciprocal relationship, i.e. a religious feeling of medium to high intensity leads to the adoption of moral values that involve some general exigencies, imposing certain patterns of behavior to the participants, by virtue of their orientation towards the human ideal.
