Summary/Abstract: Each religion has its own vision of God/gods and an original interpretation of the truths of faith, which distinguishes it from other religious systems or specific religions. A religious panorama is a kaleidoscope of changing forms that share, connect, transform and reappear, constantly competing with each other. In the twenty-first century, contrary to the nineteenth-century conviction that religion will disappear with the progress of science and the development of secular ideologies, it is still going on and is experiencing a specific renaissance. In different parts of the world new movements of religious innovations are emerging. In Poland, a measurable testimony to the gradually growing religious scene is the register of churches and other religious associations, which is being extended from year to year. Old and new versions of religion and spirituality, difficult to count and name by name, prove the unchangeability of human nature in the pursuit of recognition and satisfaction of spiritual sensitivity.
