New religions in a post-communist city: Seventh-Day Adventists and Diamond Way Buddhists in Brno
Original language description
State-backed secularization and a general weakening of the role of churches during the decades of Communist rule have transformed Czech cities into societies showing a very high percentage of people formally declaring themselves atheists, even when compared globally. The recent resurrection of religion, witnessed in many regions of the world, has not been widely documented in post-communist Central-European societies. However, there are people without a formal religious affiliation in Czech cities who are looking for a religion to answer their spiritual needs. The void on the religious map of the Czech Republic caused by the communist state suppression of traditional churches has been partially filled up during the last two decades by a number of new, non-traditional churches, both Christian and non-Christian.
