Summary/Abstract: Peter L. Berger, one of the most important theorists of secularization, became also one of the most mindful critics of this theory. In the introduction to the book published in 1999 under the significant title The Desecularization of the Word. Resurgent Religion and World Politics he wrote: “The assumption that we live in a secularized world is false.” In the article of 2012 “Further Thoughts on Religion and Modernity” he proposed the introduction in the place of a theory of secularization of a “theory of pluralization”. Berger’s idea seems interesting enough to be applied also to Polish reality.
