ABSTRACT
Sociologists commonly acknowledge the fact that no significant retreat from religion has taken place in Poland during the last few decades. The strong position of the Roman Catholic Church followed by mass religiosity was more distinctive features of the religious situation in 'postwar Poland'. The Polish religious landscape is far from reflecting diversity; it is unquestionably dominated by the Roman Catholic Church. All the major churches and religious associations in Poland come from the Christian tradition. Since the beginning of the 1990s until the most recent years, church attendance has remained at a more or less stable level, and it might be claimed that Poles have remained unaffected by trends of secularization in the ritual domain. In Poland, secularization has certainly taken place on the macro level, as many sectors of society have been removed from the domination of religious institutions and symbols. It is likely that the trends of secularization in Poland will manifest themselves more acutely in future.
