Vice President of Polish Atheist Coalition Nina Sankari speaks on "In the Shadow of the Church in Poland" at the Secular Conference 2014.

Atheism and irreligion is uncommon in Poland with Catholic Christianity as the largest faith. However, it is on the rise, which has caused tensions in the country.[2][3][4][5][6] According to a 2020 CBOS survey, non-believers make up 3% of Poland's population.[7]

The 2014 Procession of Atheists in Poland commemorated Kazimierz Łyszczyński, who is considered the first Polish atheist.[8][9]
