    Based on empirical research projects, the article develops the significance of science communication for religious education and congregational education. On the basis of four studies (Shell Youth Study, Sinus Youth Study, Trend Study ‘Youth in Germany’, 6th Church Membership Survey), successful and unsuccessful examples of science communication are presented. A concluding section develops six theses for science communication based on the author's own experiences with the studies ‘Jugend zählt 2’ and the 3rd study on confirmation work. A decisive factor is the translation of the results for target groups with a non-scientific communication culture. This requires skills in the area of elementarization and ‘intercultural competence’. Finally, pragmatic ways are shown how science communication can succeed even with limited resources.
