Rozwój religii i moralności na Litwie postkomunistycznej: religia bez moralności?

ENThe article is based on European Values Study Data and deals with the changes of religiosity and morality in post communist Lithuania in the context of processes ongoing in the other countries. It is focused on analyzing subjective religiosity, attitude to the Church and Christianity, civic morality, permissiveness. The three forms of religiosity are differentiated: religiosity by conviction, religiosity by tradition and religiosity by inertia. The prevalent form of religiosity in Lithuania is religiosity by inertia, so, although subjective religiosity, attitude to the Church and even Christianity has increased during the years of independence, morality - particularly an attitude to the phenomena the Church traditionally condemns - has decreased. In Europe the decline in morality is generally concomitant with the decline in religiosity, but in every state and every region this process has its own peculiarities. Keywords: religiosity, permissiveness, civic morality, post-communist Lithuania.
