Summary/Abstract: Religious freedom and religious pluralism in the postsocialist region led not only to the emerging of religious denominations by number but to the decomposition of vernacular religiosity. This transformation manifested in a religious syncretism mingling Christian teachings and symbolism with the emerging new ideologies. This paper aims to analyse Christian-Neopagan syncretism, the most articular segment of the process which often results religious conflicts in Hungary.
