Summary/Abstract: The establishment in recent years in developing regions of our country has brought new challenges in the attention of scientists and novel research topics. Secondary analysis of field research carefully considered in the light of two specific markers (religious affiliation and church attendance), has provided conclusive suggestions regarding the tracing of possible commonalities and inter-regional disparities, including the religious level. In most cases, the homogeneity or heterogeneity of regional, seems to be reflected nationally, including in rural and urban distribution of the two religious indicators mentioned above. Overall, the purely statistical level, at least, might sketch, therefore, a certain configuration of their own distinct religious individual regions.
