Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi representasi sosial tentang agama melalui dua studi. Studi 1 menggunakan pendekatan struktural dan Studi 2 menggunakan pendekatan dialogis. Studi 1 taliap pertama menemukan core representasi sosial tentang agama melalui perbandingan antara "orang beragama" dan "orang tidak beragama", baik secara eksplisit maupun implisit. Sedangkan Studi 1 taliap kedua mengidentifikasi tiga atribut termasuk central core dan empat atribut termasuk peripheral, disertai tiga prinsip organisasinya. Studi 2 menunjukkan diskusi memunculkan antinomi pada representasi sosial tentang agama melalui empat aspek, yaitu: konseptualisasi agama. aspek transendental agama, perbandingan aspek transendental antaragama. dan toleransi antaragama. Sebagai hasil tambahan Studi 2, ekspresi linguistik "Saya sejujurnya..." ditengarai mengindikasikan konflik nilai antara individu dan masyarakat.
