To my surprise there wasn't a single hit when I search Polishforums on facebook, so I ended up creating a FAN page. Since there are thousands of members on here the majority of whom have facebook. So simply seach Polishforums and it should come up. ^_^
Other than that, if the admin integrates facebook into here, we'll be able to mirror and posts from or to the fan page under the posters option. Sort of like an RSS feed option that the developers of facebook recently added.
Oh well, here's the fan page ^_^

Life / Is Poland split into two religions: catholicism and non-believers? [103]
Are you kidding me? Poland definitely doesn't have a near significant "non-believer" side, and as far as half goes, it's not even that high in the most atheistic/skeptic countries in Europe such as the UK and France.
Don't get me wrong, I'm an agnostic so I have no bias for/against religion or for/against atheism. But statistics don't lie. I think it's so pointless how the "religion argument" has taken so much popular hold when there are other problems thousands of times more serious and affective. (Poverty, natural disasters, global warming, etc.) More people are dying of these causes yearly than religion has ever killed in history. It'd be at least nice if the religious argument wasn't so childish. Politicians and activists have illogically crammed this argument into their politicos causing more rage, and the commoners have painted the whole issue black and white (either you're an atheist anti-theist high IQ'ed intellectual, or your a bible thumping dumbbell whose not going to hell). Out of the vast majority of people I've met in these sides only a very small minority do these labels apply to. Your arrogant atheist thinks he has a high IQ which most of the time he doesn't and your arrogant theist thinks he's the most moral which most of the time he isn't. I believe people should have the right to believe in what they want without pointing childish labels at others, and our sovereigns and "activists" should stop trying to purge the privacy of our beliefs/dis-beliefs like some Stalinists.
Anyway, Poland according to statistic has one of the lowest rates of atheism. While bible-thumping is dying down it's more or less being replaced by liberal Christianity/spiritualism.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Poland
90% of Poland is Catholic as of recently, the rest are Orthodox and Protestant by most. Other statistics claim Poland is 95% Catholic.
EU statistics show that religion in Poland has been increasing---
In 2005:
- 80% of Polish citizens responded that "they believe there is a God" (which was the fifth highest result in the European Union).
- 15% answered that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force".
- 3% answered that "don't know".
- 2% answered that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force".
In 2008:
- 94% of Poles claim "they believe in God",
- 6% claim they "do not believe in God or do not know",
- * 52% of believers claim "they attend to mass, religious meetings etc. at least once a week",
- * while 17% do so "once or twice a month",
- * 18% do so "a few times a year",
- * and 13% "never do so".
These statistics have been published in accordance to the Polish government by the EU. The EU is secular and has no religious or irreligious bias from what can be seen.
Some people have said the country is split into 2, Catholicism and non believers.

I doubt it. Maybe olive skinned Mediteranean/Latin people's but I have rarely seen African in there. I don't mean to be racist, just from my own observations.
Truth is Polish girls might date people of other ethnicities but I always see them marrying Polish men, it's why 98.2% of poland is still polish.

They will go out and get shagged by foreigners, but they then go and marry a Polish guy.

USA, Canada / What do Polish people think about Canadians? [44]
I'm half Greek and half Polish so there is a lot of Greek Diaspora there. I've had the pleasure of visiting family members in Ontario and Quebec and I must say it's quite something especially the wilderness. While I didn't see many Poles there at all there were tons of French. French are to Quebec as Poles are to Chicago lol. I think the reason why people know so little about Canada is because they're so under-represented. I barely hear about them in the US and I doubt barely anyone hears about them in Poland where little to nothing is known about some EU countries.

You mean Greeks???? There are barely any Ukrainians living in Turkey, or atleast so little that the government says there aren't enough to take a census. It's in Greece where there's over 150,000 of them. After all they're both fanatic Orthodox so it's like Poles with Italy/Vatican. So please blame the greek men like yourself! lol the slyness of Greek men, using religion to exploit those poor eastern european girls. ^_^
They have abolished the visa requirements for ukrainian and russian women for the same reason.

While Ukraine is very low on the list (since it makes sense for Turks to go to higher economic places upon which Ukraine definitely isn't) there are 8,000 Turks in Ukraine with only 550 who are permanent citizens to stay. :-p
I met Ukrainian guy and he said thousands of Turks already came to Ukraine, all for 1 thing: white women.
