CHANGING RELIGIOSITY IN CONTEMPORARY POLISH SOCIETY

In the context of contemporary scientific discourse, the concept of secularisation as a societal process is increasingly presented to researchers. This article explores the current level of religiosity in Poland. The objective is to examine the evolving attitudes towards religion among the Poles and the impact of the secularisation process on Polish society. To this end, the following tasks have been set out: firstly, to analyse religious trends in contemporary Poland; secondly, to examine confessional self-identification among Poles; and thirdly, to describe the importance of the Catholic Church in the cultural and religious framework. The article goes on to highlight further perspectives and trends in the process of moving away from religion and transferring elements of Catholicism into a long-distance format. Due to the increasing spread of various means of communication on the Internet and the accelerated pace of life, the number of believers among Poles is gradually decreasing. The scientific novelty of this article lies in the philosophical and religious analysis of contemporary cultural, sociological and religious trends in Polish society, as well as their interrelation in the process of transformation of religion in the realities of the 21st century. The article therefore substantiates the need for further research in this area for a more detailed study and identification of sustainable trends in this field.

Abstract

In the context of contemporary scientific discourse, the concept of secularisation as a societal process is increasingly presented to researchers. This article explores the current level of religiosity in Poland. The objective is to examine the evolving attitudes towards religion among the Poles and the impact of the secularisation process on Polish society. To this end, the following tasks have been set out: firstly, to analyse religious trends in contemporary Poland; secondly, to examine confessional self-identification among Poles; and thirdly, to describe the importance of the Catholic Church in the cultural and religious framework. The article goes on to highlight further perspectives and trends in the process of moving away from religion and transferring elements of Catholicism into a long-distance format. Due to the increasing spread of various means of communication on the Internet and the accelerated pace of life, the number of believers among Poles is gradually decreasing. The scientific novelty of this article lies in the philosophical and religious analysis of contemporary cultural, sociological and religious trends in Polish society, as well as their interrelation in the process of transformation of religion in the realities of the 21st century. The article therefore substantiates the need for further research in this area for a more detailed study and identification of sustainable trends in this field.
