Abstract
The contribution deals with Christian initiatives against selected metal concerts and festivals since 2013 in highly secularized Czechia and in Slovakia with a close connection of religion (especially the Catholic Church) to the state. These initiatives mobilize Christian community but also aims to attract politics. As the contribution will describe, in Czechia it was targeted mainly to the Christian minority and local politics, while in Slovakia religious actors were able to mobilize broader networks against metal concerts/festivals, including nation-wide politics.
