This is a qualitative research paper, which aims to examine how religion classes are conducted in inner-city and suburban schools. Interviews have been performed with two religion teachers, one at Grindtorp School in Alby and one at the English Gymnasium in Södermalm. There have been performed interviews with eight students, four from each school. The students have a different age, sex and religious beliefs. With these interviews we can get a better understanding how the students of today’s school think about the religious education. During the progress of the paper it became clear that the area in which students live had little impact on the way classes were conducted. What had a greater impact was the social class, which students belonged to. Students with parents with a higher education background displayed a will to move to the better schools to get a better education. Students with parents lacking higher education often chose to stay in the suburban schools where it is difficult to succeed as there are more noisy students than in the inner-city. We can also see that students how have parents with a higher education and go to better schools have a bigger respect for students with other religious beliefs.
