Oppressed people resist with the tools they have. In America the black churches played a major role during the civil rights movement. In Poland, people used the Catholic Church to resist the communists. Communism in Poland went away, and a large part of why Poles attended church regularly went away as well. Their church attendance was more about political resistance than faith.
