Summary/Abstract: The subject of reflection in the article is a discussion about secularization. There are two theoretical approaches, which in a different way interpret nowadays religious changes. The representatives of the secularization paradigm assume that religion is marginalized in contemporary societies, and this weakening is associated with social and economic changes. On the contrary, the representatives of the economic paradigm claim that it is hard to observe the secularization process nowadays, even among highly developed countries. In the text, the statistic model is presented. It enables us to identify which approach is correct.
