The phenomena of growing religiosity in a post-secular society is examined in this article, which also looks at how religious processes affect the emergence of religious commitment in post-secular environments. The it aims to describe the traits of post-secular religiosity, ascertain the elements that shaped it, and examine how religious principles affect social interactions. The study analyzes the impact of modern technologies and social media on religious communication, the spread of religious views, and the development of new forms of religious practices, and examines the paradigmatic shifts in understanding the role of religion in the modern world. The research is based on phenomenological, comparative, and psychological methods of analysis. The study identifies globalization, digitalization, identity crises, and the search for spiritual guidance in the modern world as major factors contributing to the growth of religiosity. Special attention is given to comparing the manifestations of post-secularism in Western liberal democracies and developing countries showing that post-secular society is characterized not by a return to traditional forms of religiosity, but rather by the emergence of new hybrid forms of spirituality and the reinterpretation of religious traditions within a contemporary context. The study is valuable both scientifically and practically because it explains how religious processes appear in a post-secular society among young people and in the domains of culture and education. Identifying the characteristics of the shift in religious consciousness in contemporary culture is the primary intent of the study. It also offers other perspectives for the disciplines of sociology, education, and religious studies, providing a framework for reconsidering the place of religion in modern day society.
