Religious Identification and State Religious Policy of Belarus

Jerzy Waszkiewicz

Abstract


The present article seeks to analyze the religious trends in the development of the Belarusian society during the period of the transformation of the former Soviet Union, on the basis of research by Belarusian sociologists. Special attention is paid to the religions identification of the Belarusians, the strength of religious beliefs and the religions behaviour of the citizens. Analysis covers inter alia the confessional, geographical and ethnic factors, which influence the religiousness among certain groups of the population, and the mutual relationship between the State and the Church under the laws concerning the freedom of conscience. In this aspect we analyze the currently propagated idea about the “diversified” model of interaction between the State and individual denominations.
