description The present paper introduces the most typical features of religiosity (and secularization) in Czech society, pointing out their historical-political origins and the tendencies in their development. Based on relevant professional, scientific-popular and unambiguously popular (entertaining) literature produced by Czech authors (sociologists, theologians, psychologists, priests, journalists, etc.) over the last 20-30 years, the contribution will familiarize Polish readers with the type of narrative used in works on God, the Bible, the Church, faith, mysticism, etc., providing concrete examples of such discourse. Writings by researchers such as D. Červenková, P. Fiala, H. Hamplová, P. Hošek, Z. R. Nešpor, P. Říčan, O. I. Štampach, D. Václavík, R. Vido were used for the paper. Special attention is devoted to works by Tomáš Halík (Ptal jsem se cest), Zbigniew Czendlik (Postel, hospoda, kostel) and Alexander Flek (Parabible). The subject of the analysis is the way of Czech and Polish authors express themselves when writing on the themes of God (holiness/sacrum), faith, believers, priests, and the Church.
