The issues of place and quality of religious education in schools have been received more attention in the world in recent years. After providing a general theoretical framework for later discussion and a brief knowledge pertaining to religious education in Turkey this article aims to explore the attitudes of adolescents in secondary school to traditional and modern religious education in terms of the empirical research findings which is a part of international research Project entitled "Religion and Life Perspective Among Adolescent". The responses of the subjects according to the variables of sex and type of school have also been examined. The research findings indicated that Turkish respondents have a positive attitude about traditional and modern of aims of religious education in schools. This result supports the assumption that Turkish religious education in school is a transition period from confessional/traditional to modern. Moreover, some differences have been observed in terms of variables of sex and type of schools.
