Language / Niech będzie pochwalony Jezus Chrystus - a religious greeting? [39]
I have only heard old people (those in their 70-80s) saying it when they enter a house. Men use to take off their hats in such case. It's followed by usual Polish greeting of 'Dzień dobry'.

Life / Why are Polish so conservative and religious? [240]
I guess it's all caused by our difficult history. In the past Poland diseapered from political maps for over 100 years. Catholic religion and conservative beliefs were associated with being a Pole. The same situation is with the gone not so long ago communist times. Now, when the boarders are opened and we are influenced to agreater extention by western way of living Poland is definitely getting more liberal every year. It's just a slow process.

Life / What are the most conservative cities in Poland? [10]
Generally cities in eastern Poland (like Białystok and Lublin) are more conservative. Those located in the western part of Poland, closer to western Europe seem to be more liberal. In my opinion Warsaw is super liberal in comparsion to other places in Poland.
