Abstract

The article aims to identify and examine selected relationships between religious diversity and the process of European integration. Integrating Europe, initially divided generally into Catholics and Protestants, was pluralized in religious terms, mainly due to the influx of Orthodox and Muslim populations, as a result of new countries joining the original integrating group and migration processes. Each of these religions has, to some extent, developed its vision of Europe, identity and integration, which influence social attitudes and the views of politicians. One can notice, inter alia, the differentiation of attitudes towards integration between Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox and Muslims, as well as within these denominations, depending on the indications of faith and the degree of religiousness of their followers. In addition to indirect influence, religion exerts its impact through the action of "religious" entities, including churches, Christian Democratic political parties, organizations and politicians. The article, concerning selected research, analyzes the influence of religious pluralism on the genesis and expansion of integration, its deepening and ideological dimension, as well as on the institutionalization of religious issues in the integration process.
