Przejawy sekularyzacji na przykładzie Polski
Poland: a case-study in secularization

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses religiosity in Poland, twenty-five years after the collapse of communism and the country’s transition to democracy. It argues that although Church attendance figures are declining in Poland, the country does not adhere to the normal secularization model that is apparent in most Western countries. The paper argues that Polish belief still has an attachment to a pre-modern sense of the sacred. More importantly, it claims that Poland can provide a model, albeit an imperfect one, of a post-enlightenment, liberal democracy that is open to the transcendent.
