Religion in the Czech Republic

     Religion in the Czech Republic was dominated by Christianity until at least the first half of the 20th century; since then it has steadily declined and today the Czech Republic has one of the least religious populations in the world.

     The most recent Pew Research Center, found that in 2015 72% of the population of Czech Republic declared itself religiously unaffiliated—a category which includes atheists, agnostics and those who describe their religion as “nothing in particular”, 26% Christians, while 2% belonged to other faiths. The Christians divided between 21% Catholic, 4% other Christians and 1% are Eastern Orthodox, while the religiously unaffiliated divided between 25% as atheists, 1% agnostics and 46% as nothing in particular (also atheists and agnostics when we have questioned them about their belief). Also 29% said that they believe in God, 43% had a belief in fate and 44% believed in the existence of the soul.
