This article examines the structure of religiosity in contemporary Slovenia, focusing on its transformation from institutional to individualized forms. Drawing on a multidimensional approach, it explores the relationship between the importance of faith, institutional and individual religious practice, and the influence of religion on everyday life. The empirical study is based on quantitative analysis of data collected through an online survey of Slovenian residents aged 15 and older (N = 1,964). A convenience online sample was used; therefore, the findings are not representative of the Slovenian population and should be interpreted as reflecting patterns within the surveyed group rather than the population as a whole. The analysis employs descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-tests, correlation analysis, and factor analysis. Results indicate that religiosity is a multidimensional phenomenon in which intrinsic religiosity is more pronounced than institutional practice. Religiosity is also strongly associated with its influence on everyday life. The findings suggest ongoing process-es of religious individualization and a shift toward more personal and less institutionally bound forms of religious expression.
