After the Second World War, Poland became a state ruled by communists, who were against, among other things, the presence of religious instruction in public schools. During the Second Republic, religion in schools was taught in accordance with Article 120 of the Constitution. The aim of this article is to show by what legal acts the state authorities removed religious instruction from schools. The first legal act of 1945 – a circular issued by the Minister of Education – restricted the teaching of religion, and subsequent acts depreciated this school subject more and more, until it was completely removed in the Education Act of 1961.
