Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on analyzing how Polish youth understand the purposeand meaning of life, taking into account the contemporary tendency to margin-alize or eliminate the aspect of religion from the public sphere. The growingbelief that man is the main source of progress, and that objective values andtranscendent meaning are merely illusions, provides an important context forresearch on one’s perception of meaning in life. The research, conducted in thelast quarter of 2023, employed a diagnostic survey method using the question-naire technique. The study found justification in the field of fundamental theology, whose task is to show meaning in life to contemporary man. The unique-ness of the study lies in conducting a sociological and theological analysisamong young people with faith, allowing for a better understanding of howreligious aspects influence their perception of the meaning of life.
