Gen Zers And The Decline Of Christianity In Europe

Whichever way you turn in the Old Town of Prague, church and cathedral spires rise above the city as far as the eye can see. Prague is called the “city of a hundred spires” and home to the famous St. Vitus Cathedral, the Tyn Church and the Strahov Monastery. It is ironic then, that for a place where religious monuments are enmeshed with public life, the people seem to have little place for faith in their daily routine. In fact, according to the most recent data, almost 50% of the Czech population does not identify with any religion, while another 30% refused to provide any information regarding their personal beliefs. The remaining 20% claim to a religious preference.
