The main goal of this paper was to research public expectations about the role of religion in 9 different societies of CEE. The general hypothesis is that perception (expectation) of religion in the public sphere differs considering the social field in which it is engaged. Differences in the public role of religion are detected through the research of social expectaions. Social expectations of the socio-cultural role of religion are higher than those of its socio- political role. The majority of respondents in all nine countries do not agree that religion should exert influence on politics.
