The Czech(oslovak) Model? Secular Last Rites in Central Europe under the Communists and Beyond

The popularity and character of secular last rites in Czechoslovakia were admired by many other Communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe, at least in the 1950s and 1960s. The author questions this adulation through an analysis of the origins and development of secular funerals (and cremation) in the country, exposing its much earlier roots, misuse by the Communists and its dysfunctions following the fall of Communism. He maintains that there was a lack of ideological anchoring, i.e. a replenishment of…

Evangelíci na Těšínsku a jejich čeští, moravští a slovenští souvěrci

The study shows Lutheran Protestantism as an important specificity of the formerTeschen/Cieszyn/Těšín region in Czechoslovakia / Czech Republic and Poland, among which thisterritory was divided after the First World War. It examines the mutual relationsbetween the Teschen Protestants and their fellow believers in both (or after the independenceof Slovakia all three) countries during the 20th and early 21st centuries, andstates the paradox that „rapprochement“ within one state unit in Czechoslovakia ledt…

Irreplaceable Church Welfare in the Least Religious Country: The Case of the Czech Republic

The chapter starts with a brief description of the church-state relationship in the Czech lands / Czech Republic in the last century. As a consequence of the massive turning away from the churches, the country is one of the most secular regions around the world. Despite the low numbers of adherents, the churches attempt to remain powerful players on the political and public scene(s). The chapter describes topics, means and strategies used by various religious institutions to preserve their public standing, whi…

Bez slávy i bez diskuse, aneb ordinace žen v českých církvích

Ordination of women as ministers is an important issue of gender equality and social stratification. The liberally-oriented non-Catholic Czech churches introduced the ordination of females rather early – the Czechoslovak Hussite Church in 1947, and the Protestant Church of the Czech Brethren in 1953. In both cases, however, these were quite problematic steps, and female members of the clergy were long handicapped in comparison to their male colleagues, which the author attributes to the way this fundamenta…

Československá sociologická společnost při ČSAV jako institucionální báze obnoveného oboru

The foundation of research institutes, departments, journals and other academic bodies providing an institutional background was an important part of the re-establishment of Czech (Czechoslovak) sociology in the mid-1960s. This article describes and analyses the specific case of the Czechoslovak Sociological Society, formally the first established branch organisation, and its relations to the Scholarly Collegium of Philosophy (and Sociology), the official managing and controlling body of socialist science.

Konstrukce tradice české reformace v novodobých protestantských církvích

Modern Protestant churches, approved by the Patent of Toleration issued by Joseph II, could not (and in many respects they did not want to) continue the heritage of Bohemian Reformation. However, such legacy appeared thorough the “long” 19th century, and at its end it was emphasized by national movement and political programmes of several political parties. At the beginning of the 20th century, the importance of the above legacy grew significantly, and culminated after the formation of Czechoslovakia: most…

Malý slovník českých nekatolických náboženských osobností 20. a 21. století

Research on religion has been neglected in Czech academia for a long time, one of the major debts was absence of a biographical encyclopedia of modern religious figures. Such dictionaries are available for all comparable Central European countries, in the Czech case there was at least a dictionary of Roman Catholics. Only the extensive research and analytical work of the team made it possible to publish a more extensive and heuristically more difficult encyclopedia of other religionists.The present dictionary …

Nevěřící, apatheisté nebo skrytí věřící? Charakteristika osob, které se v rámci sčítání lidu nepřihlásily k žádné denominaci

For many years, the legal protection of personal data prohibited the analysis of individual census data in the Czech Republic thus, this is the first article to provide a detailed analysis of data on religion. Employing individual data for the whole population, the authors confirm several trends in the recent religious development of the country, including general out-churching, the expansion of certain smaller denominations, and, especially, an increase in the number of people declaring themselves religious, …

České evangelické tisky toleranční doby (1781–1861)

The issue of the Edict of Toleration legalised evangelicals of Lutheran and reformed confessions in Bohemia and Moravia. Their religious life required the support of printed materials in the form of religious literature of the corresponding confession approved by the state. Relatively high production of Protestant books, both original and translated, began to emerge. They anchored both Protestant denominations but simultaneously became mutually competitive and sometimes came into controversy with Roman Catholi…

Sto let Českobratrské církve evangelické a Církve československé (husitské): Náboženské organizace, společenská poptávka a racionalita řízení

The article analyses organisational development of two main established non-Catholic churches in the Czech Lands, i.e. the Protestant Church of the Czech Brethren (Českobratrská církev evangelická) and the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church (Církev československá /husitská/), since their establishment in 1918 and 1920 to the present. Author shows that particular congregations were established more or less according to public demand in the first decades, but the structure of the churches remained in large de…

Postsekularismus po česku? Ne/religiozita současné české společnosti mezi Východem a Západem

Th e article contributes to critical analyses of contemporary European religion and (rather loose) conceptualisations of post-secularism. Return of religion into the public space, which may be called post-secularism, is visible and growing even in predominantly outchurched Czech Republic. However, the very concept of post-secularism is too broad to be used as an analytical category. Th e author thus tries to operationalise it using functional diff erentiation between (social types of) churches and Davie’s id…

Religious Situation in Contemporary Czech Society

The study deals with the analysis of the religious situation in Czech society after 1989. The starting point is the analysis of the broader historical and sociopolitical context. The study itself examines an analysis of the key census data from 1991, 2001, and 2011, together with the results of research explicitly focused on the religion and religious behavior of the Czech population. These are mainly international studies, such as the EVS, ISSP or AUFBRUCH, and Czech research in the field of DIN. The study al…
