The concept of religiosity as a system of meanings represents an interesting attempt to study the phenomenon of religion from the perspective of cognitive psychology, which considers the way in which individuals think and perceive reality. The religious meaning system can be conceptualised as an idiosyncratic system of beliefs concerning oneself, others, and relationships with the world, the essential feature of which is an inherent connection to the sacred sphere. Careful structural and functional analysis of the religious meaning system leads to the conclusion that it offers significant potential for application in interdenominational research within various Christian denominations. Justifications for this include the presence of the concept of a personal God, an inclusive nature in terms of doctrines and principles of faith, the absence of specific reference to particular cultural or historical traditions, and a holistic, global perspective on religious practices. The validity of using the religious meaning system in interdenominational research is confirmed by empirical research results, which have been conducted not only among Catholic groups, but also among Protestant denominations. This confirms that religiosity, expressed through the prism of the system of meanings, has a broader scope of application, unrestricted to any single Christian denomination
