The paper explains the current dominance of unbelievers in Czech society as a consequence of the replication of the narrative template about religion, which is part of the national collective memory. This narrative template manifests itself in certain events provided by the interpretative framework. The aim of the study is to identify the Czech religious narrative template based on the analysis of public debate on the restoration of the Marian Column in Prague. The paper shows that a key element of this narrative template is the conflict between Catholicism and Protestantism, which has not been resolved in the course of Czech history and is replicated in contemporary modern society through a discussion of the ‘meaning of Czech history’. This split has become a part of Czech national identity and its long-term consequence is the shift of Czech society away from religion.

本文解释了由于复制了关于宗教的叙事模板而使捷克社会中的非信徒目前处于主导地位，这是国家集体记忆的一部分。这种叙事模板在解释框架提供的某些事件中得以体现。该研究的目的是基于对布拉格玛丽安专栏修复的公开辩论的分析，确定捷克宗教叙事模板。该论文表明，这种叙事模板的关键要素是天主教与新教之间的冲突，这在捷克历史进程中尚未解决，并通过讨论“捷克历史的意义”在当代现代社会中得以复制。
