Abstract: In the introductory part, the author first analyses two basic concepts of the topic: the concept of the return of religion in the social life of Serbia, and the concept of the return of people to religion and the church. Then, in a brief overview, he presents an analysis of the state of people?s connection to religion and the church (Orthodoxy) in Serbia throughout the XX century. The central part of the paper is dedicated to the analysis of the data on popular attachment to religion and the church from the late ?80s and early ?90s until the present day. The conclusion summarizes the results of numerous sociological studies and public opinion surveys on religiosity and the connection to religion and church and offers a diagnosis of the state, scope, and limitations of the revival of Orthodoxy in Serbia.
