Life after Death?
Regardless of common belief in God and widespread religious attitude towards Easter - the holiday celebrating the mystery of the Resurrection – only slightly more than one third of the Poles believe that after death, depending on our deeds, we will get to heaven, hell or purgatory. Few interviewees are sure that everyone will go to heaven. Quite frequently people believe that although death is not the end, afterlife is incomprehensible. Such an uncertainty is declared by a third of interviewees. One in fourteen interviewees are unsure if there is any form of existence after death and one in five think that death is the end and there is no afterlife. Other afterlife doctrines have few supporters.
