Detailed information about religious beliefs in the Czech Republic.

Religious beliefs vary in the Czech Republic. Although the majority of the country's population is not religious, the majority of the people belong to the Catholic Church. Catholicism has had a significant religious influence throughout the history of the Czech Republic. The history of the Czech Republic has seen several religious conflicts with the Catholic Church. In the 15th century, the Hussites, led by Jan Hus, started a rebellion against the Catholic Church and spread the idea of Protestantism. During this period, reform movements against the Catholic Church led to significant changes in the religious beliefs of the Czech people. However, in the 17th century, Czech lands were captured by the Habsburg Empire and Catholicism became dominant again. During this period, Protestantism was suppressed by the Catholic Church and the Czech society returned to the Catholic faith. Religious beliefs are more diverse in the Czech Republic today. Catholicism is still the most common religious belief, but non-religious beliefs such as atheism and agnosticism are also common. Additionally, other religious beliefs such as Protestantism, Orthodoxy, Judaism and Islam are also present in the country. Statistics on the Czech Republic's religious beliefs may vary, but generally 75% of the population is non-religious or people who do not state their faith. Catholics constitute approximately 10% of the population. The rate of people belonging to other religious beliefs is lower. The diversity in the Czech Republic's religious beliefs results from religious conflicts in the country's history and the influence of different religious groups. Today, the Czech Republic is a secular state that respects religious beliefs and provides religious freedom to its citizens.
