A Gazeta.pl survey reveals that 54.85% of portal readers no longer attend church services, marking a significant shift in religious practices.
Survey Shows Church Attendance Decline
A supplementary survey posted under an article on Gazeta.pl about the latest assessment of the Catholic Church in Poland was directed to the portal’s readers. The question concerned daily religious practice and participation in services. The collected responses provide better insight into the declarations of people visiting our portal.
Majority Declares No Church Participation
Over half of voters in Gazeta.pl’s survey declared that they do not go to church (54.85%, result from January 22, 2026). This is the most frequently chosen answer, which clearly dominates over other options. It shows the scale of distance from regular religious practices among the portal’s readers. The second largest group consists of people who declare regular church attendance (29.89%). One-third of voters chose this answer. This result is significantly lower than the percentage of people who do not participate in services at all.
Occasional Visits Remain Marginal
About 15 percent of survey participants chose the “sometimes” option. 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 constant participation, but a much larger group openly admits that they do not go to church at all.
Reader Declarations Reflect Broader Trend
The results of Gazeta.pl’s survey indicate a clear weakening of daily religious practices. Non-participation in services has become the dominant declaration, which fits into the social changes observed for years. Although the survey is not nationwide, 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.
