Identity distinguishes an individual from other individuals, but it also unites individuals with other individuals with similar characteristics. This study aims to investigate the religious identity perception of prospective teachers. To this end, the study enrolled 78 male and 228 female students from three different departments (Social Studies Teaching, Classroom Teaching, and Science Teaching) of the Faculty of Education in a state university in Turkey. The data were collected via "The identity Attitudes Scale" developed by Yazici (2016), and "The moral Identity Questionnaire", adapted to Turkish by Sariçam and Çelik (2018). The study employed the relational screening research design, one of the qualitative research models. In the analysis of the data, T-test and ANOVA were utilized to analyze the variables of identity types in terms of socioeconomic backgrounds and gender types. Also, multiple regression analysis was used to explore to what extent identity types predicted religious identity. The results revealed that religious identity perceptions differed depending on socioeconomic levels but not on gender. Besides, it was found out that prospective teachers' ethnic and moral identity perceptions did not correlate with their religious identity perceptions, however, their political, national, and sexual identity perceptions predicted their religious identity.
