Declining student participation in religion classes reflects a broader disengagement from institutional religion, particularly when the content taught is not aligned with students’ needs and expectations. This paper aims to determine which sociodemographic and religious factors, including perceptions of the Church, differentiate young people’s participation in religious education classes at school and what factors influence their decisions not to…

Mixed Marriages in the Polish Catholic Migrant Community: An Analysis from the 2004 EU Enlargement to Brexit
This paper examines the prevalence and characteristics of religiously mixed marriages among Polish migrants in England and Wales, focusing on unions between Catholics and partners from other religious backgrounds. Despite strong cultural and religious ties, Polish Catholics marry outside their faith more frequently than those in Poland and at rates comparable to the general UK population. The analysis draws on over 25,000 church marriage records …
The More One Believes, the Better One Belongs?”—Religiosity as Part of Diasporic and Migrant Integration
By comparing the participation of diaspora and first-generation migrants in their country of origin through religious ceremonies, services, diaspora philanthropy, and volunteering, this study offers a literature review on how existing research on the integration process in the country of origin considers the role of religion and religiosity and the way these unfold. While some argue that religiosity can be an empowering factor in the integration …
Religion and Emotions Towards Artificial Intelligence: Christians, Non-Christians and Non-Believers
The article aims to determine what is the relationship between someone’s religious affiliation and their emotional reaction(s) in relation to artificial intelligence (AI). Religion is an important element of society’s cultural mosaic, and it undoubtedly influences emotional reactions to AI. This constitutes a premise for examining how one’s religion can influence attitudes toward AI. The research applied an ANOVA variation analysis comparing the …
Welfare models and AI regulation: Preferences of university students in the UK and Poland
The growing uptake of artificial intelligence technologies in societies highlights the importance of understanding the regulatory preferences of different societal segments toward their regulation. We argue that a wider sociopolitical context shapes it and explore this argument using Esping-Andersen’s welfare state regime typology and a survey of university students from two distinct welfare regimes. Our findings reveal important differences and …
From Authority to Symbol: The Channels, Conditions and Reception of the Post-Memorial Transmission of John Paul II’s Heritage
The heritage of John Paul II (JP2), a widely recognised religious and political leader, remains an important part of Polish heritage. However, the values and teachings he embodied appear to be increasingly disconnected from the younger generation. This study aims to assess whether the memory of JP2 today functions as an internalised heritage among young adults in Poland (aged 29–35) or whether it serves primarily as a symbolic point of reference.…

The New Parochialism? Polish Migrant Catholic Parishes on the Path of Change
The text engages with the ongoing discussion about the role played by religion in social life, with attention paid to transnational dynamics of religiosity in migrants' individual experiences, expectations and modes of involvement.

Religion can determine how people perceive socio-political reality, especially in a cultural context in which religious affiliation is an important part of national identity. This has a special significance in the Polish cultural context, in which Catholicism is considered the national religion, and its institutional dimension plays an important role in the Polish socio-political domain. The purpose of this study is to analyse how religion affect…
