Summary/Abstract: In spite of secularization and technicization of everyday life, religion has retained a prominent place in all societies, including the most advanced ones, especially in the private sphere, in the sphere of morality, tradition and culture. In the 1990s, in former socialist countries we have been witnessing people's return to religion, because the collapse of socialism has left an ideological vacuum behind. Desecularization in the former Yugoslavia first affected Catholic regions, and in the late 1980s and early 1990s spread in homogeneously Orthodox regions too which, being the ones most prone to secularization, entered desecularization with a decade's delay. The awareness is also rising of the necessity of inter–confessional dialogue and tolerance both between members of different confessions and between believers and non–believers, which is of vital importance for the multi–confessional and multi–ethnic Balkan region.
