Praktyki religijne i agendy socjalizacyjne. Przykład polskich i białoruskich studentów

Abstract

The paper focuses on comparative studies conducted among students in Poland and Belarus. It describes different aspects of religiosity such as students’ religious identity, religious practices connected with frequency of prayer, the observance of Lent, reading religious literature, as well as the role of socialization. The hypothesis to verify, based on acknowledgement of cultural similarity, staying in the same zone of political influence and spatial proximity for tens of years, implies that faith, religious practices and religious socialization – acquired mostly in families – are similar among Polish and Belarusian students. This hypothesis was not confirmed by our studies. Religiosity of Polish and Belarusian students is different.
