Churches

Religion has played a significant role in Czech history and culture. Until the 20th century, the majority of the Czech population was Roman Catholic, and the Catholic Church had a significant influence on Czech society. However, during the communist era, the government promoted atheism and suppressed religious practices. Since the fall of communism, there has been a revival of religion, and today the Czech Republic is predominantly atheist or agnostic, with a minority of Roman Catholics, Protestants, and other religious groups. Despite this, Czech cultural traditions and holidays continue to be influenced by Christian and pagan beliefs.
