Our analysis is based on quantitative empiric investigations and we seek to answer the question to what extent the age structures of individual denominations differ and we attempt to suggest a relevant explanation. The data from the population census in 2001 represent the basis for the description of the overall age structure in the Czech Republic. These data were further compared to other selected sociological studies, which focus exclusively on religion (ISSR, EVS, DIN ? the Czech qualitative and quantitative research from 2006) The compared data serve as the basis for the answer to the question whether there is a significant difference in the age structure of individual religions and how these differences are reflected in the age structures of the Czech population. It is a two-level comparison. On the first level, we group the obtained data into the following categories: (1) believers according to age, (2) Roman Catholics according to age, (3) traditional Protestants according to age, (4) untraditional Protestants (including Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons) according to age, (5) other untraditional religions according to age, (6) non-believers according to age, and (7) atheists according to age. In the second step, we monitor how the religions are distributed in the Czech population according to the following key: (1) the number of believers in individual age groups, (2) the number of Roman Catholics in individual age groups, (3) the number of traditional Protestants in individual age groups, (4) the number of untraditional protestants (Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons) in individual age groups, (5) the number of other believers in individual age groups, (6) the number of non-believers in individual age groups, (7) the number of atheists in individual age groups.The overall classification of the data serves as the answer to the question of whether there is a statistical importance between age and proclaimed religion. The basis hypotheses that suggest themselves as possible answers to the question of what influences proclaimed religion in the Czech Republic are: religious education and socialization in the family, atheist propaganda and the suppression of the communist regime, secularization trends.

We compare three generations of Czech Republic’s citizens and we expect to find differences in their religiosity due to different religion climate during their socialization: The oldest and the youngest generations grew up in a rather liberal environment, either during the pre-communist First [Czechoslovak] Republic or during the post-communist era after 1989. In contrast, the middle generation has gone through socialization in the religion-hostile atmosphere of an atheistic regime. We focus on two forms of religiosity, a traditional and an alternative. As expected, we found higher religiosity among the oldest and the youngest as compared to the middle generation. These differences were more pronounced in the case of traditional, church-oriented religiosity.

This monograph combine two formats of approach to the research. Applied research predominates over basic research. Their common subject of interest is the issue of homelessness, which is associated with a specific place, namely the city of Pilsen.

We shall also describe the changing historical status of religion within the Czech penitentiary system, including a description of the current state of affairs based on available statistical data concerning religion in Czech prisons. Owing to a lack of relevant statistical data, we present, in this chapter, only the available data, namely, data for the period between 2009 and 2016. Despite being rather limited, these data are illuminating in the Czech context. We will also critically reflect on the everyday reality of religious practice in Czech prisons. Based on analysis of key problems encountered by guards, chaplains, and inmates, we will introduce religion as a controversial and ambivalent, yet stable, phenomenon. Among the most problematic issues are those of pragmatic faith, obstacles that prevent prison chaplains from carrying out their jobs and the unsystematic and inconsistent character of penitentiary and post-penitentiary spiritual care.

Tento stav je patrný i v českém kontextu. Způsoby vyrovnávání se s danou situací, kterým je věnována v tomto textu pozornost, jsou dva. Je to obrat k náboženství a hledání ztraceného věku, v němž společenskému uspořádání měla dominovat komunita. Náboženství a komunita představují dvě možné odpovědi na otázku, jak se vyrovnat se skutečností, že dochází k rozpadu společnosti v té podobě, která byla doposud v našich myslích prezentována jako standardní sociální uspořádání. Vyjdeme-li z těchto dvou možných odpovědí, je patrné, že se při interpretaci jejich možného významu pro stabilizaci nastalého stavu otevírá prostor sociologii náboženství a sociologii komunit.

Důkazem závažnosti tématu jsou probíhající spory, a to v rovině normativní, metodologické, sociální, ekonomické, politické, ale i typologické. Kniha se pokouší přiblížit soudobé typologie teorií spravedlnosti, včetně toho, jakým způsobem se v nich užívá charakteristických (ať už kvalitativních, či kvantitativních) znaků, na jejichž základě jednotliví autoři subsumují dané teorie spravedlnosti do odpovídajících celků. Nedílnou součástí je využití dějin teorií spravedlnosti při studiu proměn tohoto zásadního sociální fenoménu. Kromě toho je cílem přiblížit nejzávažnější obtíže, které se při zdůvodňování kritérií spravedlnosti a celkové struktury soudobých teorií vyskytují.
