It was aimed to analyze the notions of Justice (NJ) and of God (NG) – and the possible relation between them – of children and adolescents, from the moral point of view, under a Piagetian psychogenetic perspective. For this, an interview was used based on the clinical method, in which 60 children and adolescents, students of Catholic schools, being: 20 children aged 6 years, 20 children aged 11 years and 20 adolescents aged 16 years took part. Qualitative analysis criteria were created based on Piagetian theory and, from them, quantitative criteria for data analysis. The results indicated that NJ and NG tended to be refined during the development process, thus pointing to a psychogenetic characteristic. It was also observed that the majority of the participants (37) presented NJ and NG at the same level, which indicates a certain parallelism in the development of these notions. However, in twenty-three participants there was a disparity between the General Level of the Notion of Justice (GLNJ) and the General Level of the Notion of God (GLNG). When this disparity was found among the youngest, the GLNJ was higher than the GLNG and, among the older, GLNG was higher than the GLNJ - which seems to be related to the way the subjects come into contact with Justice and God, throughout the development process, that is, how the interaction with each of these social knowledge objects occurs. This work contributes, therefore, to the discussions about Justice and God in the field of morality and may offer contribution to both: the proposals of a religious teaching that sees religion as a social fact, as the proposals of the confessional schools that welcome and work the beliefs of their students along with them. It also provides subsidies in the elaboration of projects in education in moral values, thus favoring the development of autonomous subjects capable of establishing moral judgments based on justice in complex and ambiguous moral situations. Thereby, recognizing the relevance of studying NJ and NG, understanding that these serve to assist the subject in the knowledge of their social environment, it is expected that this work will contribute to the development of new research on these notions.
