Summary/Abstract: The study examines changes in Romania’s religious structure based on data from four post-communist censuses (1992, 2002, 2011, 2021). The research highlights that while the country’s religious composition has remained largely stable, population decline and shifts in denominational proportions indicate emerging trends. These include the growth of the Pentecostal movement, the expansion of neo-Protestant communities, and an increase in individuals with no religious affiliation. Among Roma communities, a notable shift towards evangelical small churches has been observed. The study contextualizes these changes within broader demographic, social, and cultural dynamics.
