Abstract

The survey showed that in all groups process of secularization developed. Religious practice decrease, religious consciousness dissolutes and religious practice and identification separates. Process of secularization develops contrary to the process in capitalist societies. In our conuntry it goes as follows: the more in the system, the less in the religion and church. This means that the process of secularization here reached mostly the top social strata (politicians and managers) and less strata at the bottom of social structure — especially peasants, who are firmly connected with the church. In all strata, however, non-institutional forms of belief (in destiny etc.) are wide-spread. So religious situation characterize secularization of institutional religiosity and revival of non-institutional forms.
