The aims of this study were to explore religious variables which have effects on gratitude and to investigate whether religious coping play a mediating role in the relationship between intrinsic religious orientation and gratitude. A sample of 216 Christians(97 men and 119 women) were completed the scale of each variable for this study. The results showed that gratitude was correlated with religious sincerity like the frequency of a private pray and influence of religion to life. Also gratitude was correlated with intrinsic religious orientation and positive religious coping. Result of testing mediation indicated that positive religious coping do the role of a partial mediator between intrinsic religious orientation and gratitude. This means a mature attitude religiously is an important factor for gratitude, and choosing a desirable coping in religious can advance on gratitude in daily life. Also the gratitude intervention will need to promote to choose positive religious coping. Finally, the limitations of this study directions of future study were discussed.
