Indywidualizacja jako proces społeczno-kulturowy a religijność
Individualization as a socio-cultural process and religiosity

Summary/Abstract: Great social processes (cultural megatrends) such as structural and functional differentiation, institutional specialization, socio-cultural pluralism, worldview competition and individualisation play an important role in secularized societies. Under the contemporary conditions of the social modernisation and individualization and pluralisation that are all connected, crucial transformation of the religious and moral values and beliefs takes place. In the paper the accent attention is paid to a couple of important issues: social and cultural context of individualisation as well as the influences of the structural individualism on religious life of contemporary people. These influences lead to a specific “fragmentarisation” of the Church as well as to the evolution from the Church religiosity to pluralised, segmented, deregulated and individualized religiosity.
