The book analyses under what conditions was it possible to develop
scientific atheism which was by the contemporaries in the Soviet
Union and Czechoslovakia understood not only as a branch of
propaganda but as a specific scholarly discipline. It maps out not
only the state of affairs before the organisational changes allowed
the emergence of research but also analyses the motivation which
led the historical actors to make such decision in both national
contexts. One of the key findings is undoubtedly the fact that
scientific atheism developed as a new type of thinking about
religious phenomena within the context of Marxist-Leninist
epistemological doctrine. Moreover, if the socio-political
conditions were favorable, it also contributed to the rethinking of
the key aspects of Marxist doctrine. The comparative analysis
allows to draw conclusions about the existence of specifically
Soviet and Czechoslovakian scientific atheism and questions the
level of sovietisation in this context.
