Church Attendance Declines as Majority of Gazeta.pl Readers Stop Going to Services

A survey of Gazeta.pl readers reveals that 54.85% do not attend church, with religious practices declining among the website’s audience.

Survey Shows Decline in Church Attendance

A survey conducted on Gazeta.pl following an article about a poll on the Catholic Church in Poland asked readers about their daily religious practices and participation in services. The results provide insight into the declarations of visitors to the portal.

Over half of respondents (54.85%, as of January 22, 2026) declared they do not go to church at all. This was the most frequently chosen answer, decisively dominating other options. The second largest group consists of those who declare regular church attendance (29.89%), representing less than a third of voters. This result is significantly lower than the percentage of people who do not participate in religious services at all.

Occasional Worship Remains Rare

About 15 percent of survey respondents selected the “sometimes” option. This shows that sporadic participation is currently much less popular than complete abstention or regular presence. This distribution of responses suggests an increasing polarization of attitudes.

Trends Reflect Broader Social Changes

The results of the Gazeta.pl survey indicate a clear weakening of daily religious practices. Non-participation in religious services has become the dominant declaration, fitting into long-observed social changes. Although the survey is not nationally representative, it well reflects the moods among people actively following social and religious topics. The responses show that for many readers, the Church is ceasing to be a constant element of daily life.
