  Abstract:  In Eastern Europe Romania lies among different cultural boundaries: the orthodox culture – which is Eastern – meets with the Western catholic and protestant cultures. This special situation can be considered a challenge by the churches, this being stressed also by the fact that the religion is sticked to the nationality (or national identity). The main aim of this study is to prove that although the image of God in different religions has an important influence on the culture, it is very important to state that the root of the conflicts among the different cultures does not lie in religion. As a conclusion: Huntington’s Clash of Civili-sations-theory concentrated on religion – at least in case of Transylvania – cannot be stated because the conflicts are much more influenced by the historical, political, economical and demographical factors.
