The statistical population consists of those born in the 60s and 80s of Tehran who reached theoretical saturation with 32 people. The findings of the study indicate that in the generations of the 80s and 60s, the religious culture that has been examined through beliefs, beliefs, rituals and emotions has become individual, personal, less obligatory, free and rational، The transfer of religious culture is also less effective than formal religious and compulsory institutions.
