Abstract
How do school teachers' religious beliefs influence their professional thinking and acting? While this question has triggered several empirical studies and theoretical discussions in the United States, it has been widely neglected in European educational research, or restricted to religious education teachers. In the paper some theoretical deliberations will be offered and empirical data from one recent pilot study in Germany will be introduced. The data suggest that different from the USA, German teachers do not show as strong and clear relations between their religiosity and their profession. This may be due to different traditions of teacher education with a significant secular branch in the German context.
