Abstract
The data gained in EVS (and in other mentioned surveys) document the scope and nature of secularization of Czech society. At a structural level, it can be supported by presenting the opinions of respondents concerning the separation of religion (or better, churches) from the spheres of political and economical life in the Czech Republic. These views are accompanied by a relatively low trust in church institutions (only 20% approximately), by the belief that churches do not deal with social or family problems, and by a low frequency of attention of religious services. Hand in hand with the decrease in social significance of institutionalized forms of religion, or decrease in social importance of churches and other plausibility structures, comes a decrease of their social control over the forms of faith. The consequence of this is a privatization of religion, also manifested by the deviance from traditional forms of belief – which can be clearly observed in the decrease of belief in personal God.
