| Description | The paper discusses the French concept of déchristianisation and the further debates about religious change in Europe between the 18th and 20th century. It takes under consideration the existence of several terms marking the religious process (laicisation, de-confessionalization, Entkirchlichung), including a double-minded meaning of the term secularization in German historiography (Saekularisation, Saekularisierung). Then the basic sociological concepts of religious change are introduced: secularization, individualization, religious-market theory. In conclusion the problems and perspectives of Czech research of secularization are discussed |
