What Does Youth Believe In? Sociological Survey of Religiousness of Sfudents in Warsaw
Abstract
The paper attempts to address a number of queries on religiousness of the Polish
students, who are likely to constitute the new middle class soon. The author tries to
present how their faith is related to other attitudes, beliefs, politics and morality. Is it
still predominated by a traditional Catholic ritual, automatically inherited after older
generations without any reflection, as it was before 1989? Is this Catholic faith still
identified with being Polish and approached as a „political faith”? Or maybe some turbulent changes have taken place, enforced by new economic, political and social freedom or mass culture? The findings and conclusions presented in the paper are based on a survey conducted by the author in January 2001 among the students of the Warsaw University and
the Warsaw School of Information Technology. They prove that mentality of the youth,
who live in a large city and study, has already undergone a series of various transformations, some highly interesting, yet it is rather difficult to identify some radical changes
or a religious and moral „revolution”. A common attempt at a compromise is also
symptomatic here, the desire to harmonize the tradition, which is still live
ly and significant, with new experience provided by liberal democracy, mass cu
lture or the spiritualism of New Age.
