Abstract
Although nonreligiosity and atheism are becoming increasingly interesting topics within the sociology of religion, with a separate field of research that is slowly being created over the past twenty years, most studies are focused on Western European and American societies. In post-Communist societies, research is focused on religion and on attempts to explain religiosity and the public role of religion, while nonreligiosity and atheism are often left in the blind spot. This paper will try to start filling the gap since there are no comparative studies of nonreligiosity in this part of the world. Using the data obtained by ISSP, the paper presents a comparative analysis of three post-Communist societies with significant differences in the general level of non-religiosity: Croatia, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic. The paper will present a more in-depth analysis for three chosen countries, present the basic socio-demographic and other characteristics of the nonreligious people, and try to answer whether social expectations about the public role of religion differ among chosen countries depending on a general level of religiosity in a specific society.
