The aim of the research was to find out whether the recent socioeconomic changes in Croatia generated the corresponding change in the religiosity of Croatian youth &, if so, what was the nature of this change. To this end, the results of the studies of Croatian youth of 1986 & 1999 are compared. Several indicators of religious devotion are included: confessional & religious self-identification, beliefs, & religious practice. Since all four indicators have increased significantly, this means that in the mentioned period religiosity registered a marked increase, which signifies a massive shift from the non-religious to the religious orientation of Croatian youth. This is an indirect confirmation of the claim that this shift in the religious devotion of Croatian youth & its remarkable increase is due to the social changes such as the fall of communism, the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia, the creation of the independent Croatian state, & the Serbian aggression against Croatia. 6 Tables, 10 References.
