Religious influence is strongest in remote areas but it has been kept alive by older generations of people mainly. Younger individuals feel the need to relocate to bigger cities (or possibly move abroad) to get better job opportunities, so the influence has been slowly dying off. I believe this is a common scenario in many, if not all, Eastern European countries because economic pressure is still high over here. People might seem to respond to certain types of stimuli such as promiscuity in media better due to relatively homogeneous demographics, which favors such a behavior over, for example, inclusion of diverse racial/ethnic/religious minorities people really have not had a long experience with. So they are the least resistant to what appeals to them the most at the moment but will eventually succumb to the greater array of stimuli sooner or later.
