Therefore, after reviewing sociologists’ viewpoints, there is mentioned the conclusions of studies and theories into the link between social rank and religiosity. Then religiosity and its aspects are investigated through factorial analysis of data. 
In the analysis of data, descriptive and definitive results of data are mentioned. In descriptive part, youngsters’ religious tendency and awareness were high enough. So the link between their religiosity and social rank were evaluated positive. However, the stand of youths’ religiosity (according to the conclusion of other researcher) among three social ranks indicates that the religiosity of youngsters of low and middle social rank is stronger than those of high social rank. As a result, at this research Veblen’s theory, that suggests the religiosity of middle rank is lower than others, is not confirmed.
