The purpose of this paper is to explore theoretically and empirically the relation between Religious Judgement and Religious World View. “Religious Judgement” (RJ) refers to a person's relationship with an Ultimate (God for religious believers), as stimulated by and expressed in significant contingent situations (in the Aristotelian sense). In a structure-genetic view, this relationship develops from a stage where the Ultimate is perceived as all-powerful to a stage where the Ultimate is recognised by way of liberating interindividual actions. The “Religious World View” (WV) is concerned with the concept and the role of the Creator in originating and evolving the universe. WV stages develop from perceiving an artificialistic Maker of everything to a Higher Being with a more reduced yet more intrinsic role.
