The Effects of Religious Education on Prodemocratic Positions in the Face of the Right-Wing Populism in Poland: Theoretical Analysis and Clues for Educational Practices
Journal of Religious Education, v70 n1 p43-62 Mar 2022
The Right-wing populism in Poland faces multiple challenges with respect to Religious Education. This is a complex issue, given it is not only about school education supporting pro-democratic positions in the modern generation of students, but also the fact that today's populists have participated in long-term and complex educational processes of a similar nature. In this sense, the aim of this article is to seek an answer to the question of how Religious Education in Poland--with all of its theoretical and cognitive background rooted in the Christian vision of God and human and the world--can contribute to the elimination of the alliance of the right-wing populist perspectives from the dominant religion of the nation. The article will explain how practical educational opportunities will help students to understand the political strategy of populists, decipher their presentations and approaches, and so shape a positive attitude towards democracy as a desired ideological system within government and social life.
