Description The contribution demonstrates how some mechanisms of scientific socialization into the academic study of religions may be projected into students’ own religious lives. In this respect, the contribution focuses mainly on two processes that are connected to such socialization. The contribution labels the first process as secularization of religious identity in an academic environment. The second process represents (scientific) rationalization of religions. The first process means differentiation and separation of the constructed scientific identity from one’s own religious identity. The second process represents learning scientific way of thinking about religion and learning to grasp it rationally.
