The present study attempts to illustrate transformations in religiosity in Iran in last three decades. Leaning on the survey data in last three decades in Iran, we attempt to explain the transformation of religiosity among Iranian adults, youth, men, and women respectively; in addition to the degree of transformation among different social classes over the time. Results show that one cannot argue about the transformation in religiosity as a whole, but should consider different social groups and different aspects of religiosity separately. It shows that individual religious behavior is steadily increasing, although with some degree of variation among different social groups; while some common rituals has decreased within which aspect women show different behavior from the others. Furthermore, Beliefs and religious experiments and intuitions was in high levels.
