This chapter discusses and compares societal reactions to NRMs in Poland, Croatia and Slovakia. It starts with the theoretical framework that combines Stanley Cohen’s moral panics approach and Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s discursive theory to explain the situation regarding actors (anti-cult movements, media, Catholic clergy, politicians) involved in anti-cult claims making, and its impact on changes in the legislation and policy making that address activities of religious communities in general. The results show that the response was more fierce in Poland than in Croatia and Slovakia due to a specific societal contexts during transition period in these states.
