That is true in this country, where priests, ministers, and rabbis are paid by the government. Religious leaders who try to find new members or make a big public display of their religion migh find their pay, home, or even freedom taken away. Three of every four Czechs who go to school are Roman Catholic. There is a Catholic church in every city. There are some Protestants, mostly Methodist, Baptist, and Unitarian. Only older people go to church on Sunday in the big cities. However, religion is still important to many rural residents. They wear colorful folk outfits and are sometimes members of Greek Orthodox or Catholic churches. Easter and Christmas are public holidays. But religion is not an important part of life in modern Czechoslovakia. " |
