Summary/Abstract: In the nineteenth century both changes of religious behaviour and changes in religious behaviour resulted from secularization but also sacralization. The research of piety confirms a coexistence of the religiosity and secularism, continuity and fundamental changes in religious behaviour of man. However, since the mid-nineteenth century the process of change in religious behaviour in Europe had entered its epilogue at political, philosophical as well as cultural level. At the end of the nineteenth century the exodus from the medieval concepts of religiosity was almost completed.
