History, Memory, and Religion in the Czech Lands

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper deals with the role of religion in the process of defining Czech national identity. In the first part it aims at defining a proper theoretical framework for describing and analyzing the broad context of the topic. The second part of the paper consists in applying the theoretical framework to the subject of religion and national identity in modern Czech history. The theoretical background is based on the combination of K. Dobbelaere's concept of secularization with the sociopolitical conflict model as defined by P. S. Gorski. The role of religious ideas, practices and institutions is transformed in the process of societal modernization and functional differentiation. New, non-religious worldviews are developed. In the process of mutual interaction of secular worldviews with religion, religious elements become an integral part of discourses within the developing subsystems of politics, education, economics, etc. It leads to the situation of the persisting importance of religious ideas at the societal level, where religious phenomena continue to be discussed. The concept of Czech national identity incorporates religious elements under the conditions of the religious monopoly in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The anti-clerical or anti-Catholic concepts of national history appear at a societal level, while people tend to embrace the dominant form of religion connected to the state system at the individual level. Individual religious affiliation reveals an increasing complexity with the end of the religious monopoly, with the creation of the independent Czechoslovakia in 1918 and under the situation of religious pluralism. At the individual level the Roman Catholic Church continues to dominate religious life of the Czechs, nevertheless the declared church membership gradually decreases. Since religious phenomena have become incorporated into secular worldviews, such as into the concept of national identity, religion persists at a societal level.
