The objective of this research was to explore God's conception in children aged seven, nine and 11, to verify how it evolves during development and to identify the differences and similarities between them. It was based on Piaget's concept that knowledge evolves progressively through reasoning structures. They integrate with each other through hierarchical stages, focusing on the concrete operative period, in which the subject acquires a reversible internalized action. Also, in van der Leeuw's Phenomenology, when he declares that this methodology purely seeks the phenomenon: everything that is shown. It considers the intimate relationship with both what is shown and to those who are shown. It is considered that there is an evolution in the way children report on God. In the concrete operative stage, they report God as a great and powerful being, whose spirit is everywhere. Twenty children aged seven, nine and 11 years old attending CRAS (Social Assistance Reference Center) participated in this study, all registered in the Federal Government's Single Register and beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família program (social project to help families). The instrument used was a drawing of God performed by the child and an interview on the conception of God, from a semi-structured script and according to the clinical-phenomenological method. For the processing of the data, the interviews recorded and compared to the answers were gathered for the elaboration of categories. The interviews were organized according to the defined categories. In all categories children built from Christian-based religious teachings their own conceptions about the existence and nature of God. However, it was observed that although structured by the children themselves, traces of the social relationship characteristic of the teachings received by them persist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
