Abstract

In the article, referring to the economic theories of religion by Stark and Bainbridge, the authors present comparative characteristics of the two religious markets (Polish and Brazilian), showing briefly their respective historical background, current state, as well as dynamics of growth in the religious sectors of both countries, taking as examples two important cases of innovative religious entrepreneurs: Father Tadeusz Rydzyk (Catholic Church) in Poland and Bishop Edir Macedo (Universal Church of the Kingdom of God) in Brazil.
