Religious education in the Czech Republic in the context of contemporary socio-cultural changes
Original language description
The article analyses the role of religious education in the Czech Republic within the context of contemporary socio-cultural changes, particularly the increasing secularisation and shift-ing societal attitudes towards religion. To better understand the complexity of these pro-cesses and their key stages in shaping Czech society, a historical and cultural perspective is employed. The end of communism in 1989 brought about significant economic and po-litical changes, including the introduction of a democratic system and a free-market econ-omy. This transition, combined with the opening up to Western civilisation, accelerated the secularisation of society. This shift is particularsly evident in societal values and attitudes towards the family, religion, and the authority of various state institutions, including the Church. The article aims to highlight the complexity of the processes that have profoundly influenced the extent and dynamics of secularisation. Furthermore, it examines how con-temporary religious education - both in schools and through parish catechesis - reflects the attitudes of Czech society, where Christianity holds a marginal social role.
