Od bluźnierstwa do przestępstwa, czyli co tak naprawdę chroni państwo: Boga czy uczucia religijne? – studium historyczno-prawne

Abstract

The offence against religious feelings has its roots in the offence of blasphemy against God, hence the religious ground of that regulation is undeniable. Considering the above, the imputation that the offence in question is an expression of secularity of the state and that it had nothing to do with religion, especially the Christian religion, should be rejected. Poland is not a confessional state, but in relations with religion it is in a relation of coordinated separation, an eminent example of which is including Art. 196 in the Criminal Code.
