In Iran society, one of the most political and scientific discussions, challenges and worries of policymakers, managers and social scientists related to the mutual relation between modern Orientation (modernity) and Islamic values. But, almost all of these discussions are done on the theoretical and analytical level and the empirical relationship between modernity and religion has less studied. Giving above conditions, the present study with aid of survey method and on the base of Bekford and Giddens,s theories has investigated the effect of modern value orientation on the religious identity of girl and boy students of high school in Marvdasht town. The sampling method was multistage clustered sampling one. The results of the research showed that the girls have been more faithful than the boys to religion in all the three aspects of religious identity (emotional, ideological and functional). Also, the average of the modern valuing orientation grades is higher in the girls than sons. On the base of the results of the research it could be said that the relationship between modern value orientation and religious identity, at least in searched population, is not an opposite one.
