Abstract
3,228 11 – to 16- year olds completed the Francis scale of attitude towards Christianity and the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. The positive relationship between religiosity and lie scale scores is examined in light of the three theories that religious people are less mature, more socially conforming, or simply bigger liars.Keywords
