Abstract
Abstract The performative approach in religious education tries to answer the question of how to talk appropriately about religion with students who - for whatever reason - do not participate in any religious practice and thus lack personal experience to draw upon. Based on the latest statistics about church membership, prayer and the attendance of services in Germany, the article describes religious acts as preconditions for RE, as topics in RE and as aims of RE. In doing so, the author shows why performative methods in RE can be regarded as a specific form of activity-oriented teaching and therefore comply with the standards of general didactics.
