The present study intends to approach the concept of religion as a virtue in the thirteenth century from St. Thomas Aquinas and his possible dialogue with the sciences of religion in the 21st century. The construction of this research is made using the same epistemological path as the Angelic Doctor: we try to understand what habits are and after these acts that belong to individuals by repetition, to distinguish a virtue (good habit) from an addiction ( bad habit). With focus on virtues and not addictions, among them it will be highlighted the moral virtue (one of the four cardinal virtues) called justice, since every good habit that refers to another is related to justice. Consequently, as through religious acts it is given to God what belongs to him, St. Thomas uses the concept of religion as being a potential part (annexed virtue) of justice. It can be seen that the medieval does not deal with religion from the institutional or sentimental point of view, but he links the term to the virtues. It is also intended to briefly demonstrate, how the term religion was found in the earliest days, and how it is used in the 21st century. From this, it aims to establish dialogues and comparisons with what had been postulated by Doctor Angelico also from the ethics that emanates from the concept of religion. It is hoped that this study will broaden the view of medieval studies and support future studies in St. Thomas Aquinas.
