The article presents a generalized description of the semantic content of the concept &ldquo;religion&rdquo;, characterizing the everyday consciousness of students in the Russian regions. It is compared by a number of main features with similar indicators of reflection of religion of the youth of the Russian regions, obtained by the authors a year earlier. A set of previously tested and new indicators of assessment / interpretation by students of the religious &ldquo;domain&rdquo;&nbsp;of social reality is analyzed. The cognitive characteristics of the attitude towards religion, its emotional and evaluative parameters, as well as indicators of the respondent&#39;s involvement / distancing in / from religious life are presented. Based on the results of a quantitative analysis of student survey data (quota-nested sample, N=578, 2024), conclusions are made about the dominance of neutral-positive evaluative contexts of religion over negative ones in the consciousness of student youth;&nbsp;on the prevalence of transcendental and meaningful-life interpretations of religion by students with parity of &ldquo;secularist&rdquo;&nbsp;and &ldquo;desecular&rdquo;&nbsp;contexts of its assessment; on a significant (more than half) degree of students&#39; involvement in various modalities of the religious &ldquo;field&rdquo;. The article specifies the empirical interpretation of a number of basic concepts and defines the directions of substantive development of the program-instrumental complex of research.
