The aim of this paper is to explore the perceptions which students who study Religious Education experiences regarding the education that they receive. The study has been done by using a survey in which upper secondary students have participated. The research is based on the problems, which the result of earlier research claims to be a part of the Swedish Religious Education. These difficulties are a result of an education focusing on facts, minimized discussion regarding contemporary questions and not enough time given to reflect over the self and the pupils’ own identity. The findings of this study thus counter these claims of Religious Education with the students’ own perceptions as point of reference. The study concludes that many of the questioned students experience the education as non-relevant for them personally, but that it is an important part of cultivating the society.
