Abstract

The article analyses the dynamics of religious pluralisation in Slovenia. Historical developments in various states have kept Slovenians almost exclusively within the Roman-Catholic Church, except for a short Reformation period. The socialist after-war secularisation of society has in many respects undermined the Catholic monopoly, but it failed to create an open religious market. In the transitional period the statistics of Catholics continued to drop, and at the same time ever more new religious movements emerged. These are mostly very small and at the time being do not show the potential for substantial growth. The article analyses in detail religious pluralisation in the regions of Ljubljana and Nova Gorica.

Secondary abstract:	Članek obravnava dinamiko religijske pluralizacije v Sloveniji. Z izjemo reformacijskega obdobja je versko življenje Slovencev stoletja potekalo skoraj izključno v okviru Rimskokatoliške cerkve. Povojna socialistična societalna sekularizacija je katoliški monopol v marsičem spodkopala, ni pa ustvarila odprtega religijskega tržišča. V tranzicijskem času se je nadaljeval upad katoliške pripadnosti in okrepilo vznikanje novih religijskih gibanj. Ta so večinoma majhna in trenutno brez posebnih izgledov za sociološko pomembnejšo rast. Članek podrobneje obravnava pluralizacijske procese v ljubljanski in goriški regiji.
