can somebody describe to me the Polish religions intact in Poland at the moment.
Some people have said the country is split into 2, catholicism and non believers.
If this is true, can somebody post a picture or something showing which sides which, or maybe paste an article (in english) about it?
Thanks xD

Wow I bet a person that has the skill to post in an internet forum never thought of Google.

Why in the world would you go to a Polish Forum to ask about Polish Religion? That is just silly.

Sure Poland is mostly Catholic...at least in label. I have not however seen much in the way of discrimination toward those who don't go to mass.

it may depend on what radio channel you're listening to.. ;-)

It's not split. It's Catholic. Poland I mean. Agnostics comprise minority.. I guess, still. But lots of Catholics are non-practicing ones, and from among those, some have reasons for that, some are just lazy. It would be hard to call the others Catholics really, so.. who knows.. :-)

I happen to know that there is also an Orthodox church in Jelenia Gora in the South West of Poland, although it is still overwhelmingly Catholic. I've also heard of other religious minorities in Poland, including Jews, Muslims (although mainly immigrants I think), and even a few Satanists apparently.

I agree, many of them claim they are catholic, but their behaviour is ridiculous and denies their faith... mass is the form of showing "how good person i am"... it's hard to determine the number of real worshippers
