Given the fact that the thesis is written by a Czech author, it also provides necessary background covering the differences between Czech atheism and American atheism. Since the work is purposely not one of literary analysis but rather of socio-political and cultural nature, reasons for this decision are given in a separate subchapter analyzing Flannery O'Connor's novel Wise Blood. History of atheism in America is touched upon in the beginning of Chapter 3, but since the fundamental focus of this work is on the contemporary state of affairs, the roots of modern atheism in America are sought after mainly in the twentieth century.

Pecharová, Kateřina ; Kokaisl, Petr (advisor)
The purpose of my thesis is to map a development of religion, mainly christianity, and its different geographical aspects of the Czech republics and Austrian territory. I´d like to compare individual indicators and using questionnaires and interviews answer these questions:
Nakolik tyto atributy může zachytit statistika?
What are the main attributes of religiosity?
The extent to which statistics capture these atributes?
How does faith and religiosity vary from each other?
How much does actual rate of religiosity and real faith vary?
Do the statistics give us a realistic information about religion and its part in mentioned countries?
Why do the rate of religiosity in the Czech republic and Austria vary so much from each other considering that they are neighboring countries.
Are Austrians considering their high rate of religiosity really more religious than Czechs as an atheistic nation?
