摘要：The recent researches in Central and Eastern Europe show increasing religiosity. The purpose of this research was to investigate religious changes that have occurred in Croatia in the past few years. The survey was performed on a sample of the student population of Zagreb University in 1990 and 1994: 1. to determine the existence of multidimensional religiosity analyzing the possible secularization influence of university education (only in 1990); 2. to investigate the influence of radical change of the social system on religiosity questioning the same generation of students at the beginning (1990) and at the end (1994) of their studies. Factor analyses provided in both researches four types of religiosity, although not identical ones. Both times, the first two as well as the most important factors were Christian faith and atheism, while the other two in 1990 were the denial of the meaning of life and death, and empty belief. In 1994 the other two were: not recognizing the meaning of life and death and its denial. The research confirmed that the process of secularization was under way in the sense of fragmentation of religion which was indicated by components of belief separated from interpretative schemes of "ultimate questions", but the influence of professional education on religiosity was not confirmed. At the same time significant countersecularization processes have been recognized in the return to traditional and church religiosity.
