Summary/Abstract: The goal of the study is to examine essential aspects of transformations in the Polish religiousness. On the basis of a secondary empirical data analysis, including the dominicantes and communicates indicators, the CBOS’ surveys on religion and the ‘Polish Societal Diagnosis’ longitudinal research, the author provides three main findings. Firstly, the Polish society comes across the moderate secularization process that pushes religiosity of Poles into deinstitutionalization and subjectivity. Secondly, one can observe fostering of regional differentiation and polarization of the socio-religious profile of Poland. Thirdly, the current form of religiousness of Poles becomes far more a hybrid religion.
