A January 2026 Gazeta.pl portal survey shows most readers (54.85%) declare not attending religious services, with regular church attendance at 29.89%.
Survey on Religious Practices Published
Alongside an article on the latest poll evaluating the Catholic Church in Poland, prepared for Wirtualna Polska, an additional survey directed at Gazeta.pl portal readers was published. The question concerned daily religious practice and participation in religious services. The collected responses help better understand the declarations of visitors to our portal.
The survey, whose results we describe, can be found HERE.
Majority Declares No Participation in Services
Over half of respondents in the Gazeta.pl portal poll declared they do not go to church (54.85%, result from January 22, 2026). This is the most frequently chosen response, which clearly dominates the other options. It shows the scale of distance toward regular religious practices among portal readers. The second largest group consists of people who declare regular church attendance (29.89%). This response was indicated by less than a third of voters.
Occasional Visits Remain Marginal
The option “sometimes” was chosen by about 15 percent of survey participants. This shows that the model of sporadic participation is today much less popular than total abandonment or regular presence. This distribution of responses suggests an increasingly clear polarization of attitudes. Some readers declare permanent participation, but a significantly larger group openly admits they do not go to church at all.
Reader Declarations Reflect Wider Trend
The results of the Gazeta.pl portal survey indicate a clear weakening of daily religious practices. Non-participation in religious services has become the dominant declaration, which fits into the social changes observed for years. Although the survey is not national in scope, it well reflects the mood among people actively following social and religious topics.
