The aim of this article is to analyze the presence of the Georgian Orthodox Church in the public life, and the limits of such presence. The Church’s high influence is in correlation with spreading its growing involvement in almost all areas of social life. The emphasis is made upon the role of the Orthodox Church in the political process, which is studied and interpreted on the basis of the sociological surveys. These data are further supported by the analysis of the opinions of civil society actors and the church sermons by the clergy. In addition, the article discusses the attitudes of young people toward the process of secularization. The article measures specific indicators, which, in our opinion, is the best way to identify value orientations of the Georgian youth. The surveys were carried out in 2014 and 2015.
