Summary/Abstract: The presented results and conclusions are the consequence of research fulfilled in the northern part of Poland, in the administrative area of the Church, which is the Koszalin–Kołobrzeg diocese. The respondents were asked about the declaration of religious affiliation, the self-declaration of religious faith and the assessment of changes in religiosity. Through this prism, the author attempts to answer the question: will the manifes-tations of the privatization and secularization processes in the declarations of the young people exist in the diocese of Koszalin–Kołobrzeg. In addition, will the collected data help to recognize the specificity of the global attitude to the religious faith of respondents from this area of Poland. Although, based on the collected data, the level of global religious faith declaration in the Koszalin–Kołobrzeg diocese does not differ from the trends described in Poland, we can observe manifestations of explict peripherisation of religion in the lives of the respondents. There is a dissonance between religious self-declaration and religious self-declaration at the level of religious identification. The study included research sample selected from students of secondary schools and universities.
