Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the article is to present Leon Dyczewski’s concept of religious identity in the era of the mediatization of religion, and to describe the dynamics of this process in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The subject is an important part of the contemporary discourse on religious identity in the age of a pandemic and opens up new interesting problem issues.The article is divided into three parts. The first part discusses Dyczewski’s concept of religious identity. Then I present the issue of the mediatization of religion and how it affects religious identity. Finally, I carry out an empirical analysis of religious discourses on the Internet during the COVID-19 pandemic. Messages are treated as media products that construct the content elements of religious identity.
