Swedish RE has the purpose to teach about religion and to present a comprehensive view of different traditions. However, this assignment can be interpreted in different ways by different RE-teachers with different consequences for the education of citizens. In this contribution RE-teachers are considered as socialization agents representing an important part of the enacted curriculum. The purpose of this contribution is to explore Swedish RE-teachers notions of citizenship education in relation to RE as a subject in the compulsory school with a special reference to education for democratic citizenship. A second purpose is to analyze possible implications for civic social action. In order to explore how teachers interpreted their assignment a semi-structured interview study was carried out. The theoretical point of departure is based on a pragmatical analysis of moral political consequences.
