RELIGIJA I HRVATSKO DRUŠTVO
RELIGION AND CROATIAN SOCIETY

Summary/Abstract: Drawing on the statement that little can be said about the role of religious communities in Croatian society without a greater knowledge of major social processes, the paper first presents some partial insights into the social and economic situation in Croatian society, and based on that, comments upon the possibility of development of Croatian society. In the second part points of support for the analysis of the religious situation in Croatia are dealt with as well as the social dependence of religion before and after the fall of communism. The paper also enumerates issues concerning contemporary religious processes and relations, emerging in all post-communist societies. In conclusion, the paper discusses those social factors conditioning the current position and social role of certain religious communities, as well as the factors chosen to, probably, change that role in the future. The author thus suggests a methodological abundance of those theoretical concepts conceived to comprehend better the different processes of religious restructuration in a secularized postmodern world.
