Freedom of religion and religiosity of evangelizers. Worldwide diffusion of religious movements and polish schools of new evangelization

Abstract

Postcommunist democratization opened many former communist societies to a freedom of religious expression that stimulates the birth of new forms of evangelism. Using the example of Poland, this chapter analyzes the forms of evangelism that became available and were most frequently practiced in democratizing Poland. It also investigates the results of evangelization in terms of change in the scope and degree of faith of Polish society, depicting changes in expressed religious practices.
