Description
| - When considering religion as the main constitutional element (or even as a part) of a lifestyle, then in principle we can distinguish two basic models. The first model could be called a %22religious style of life,%22 and the second a %22secular lifestyle%22 while the distinguishing element between them is the presence of any form of religiosity (traditional - non-traditional, institutionalized - non-institutionalized, formal - informal, explicit - implicit, group - individual, etc.). This dichotomy may in the current religious situation in the Czech lands may seem unusual, but cross-cultural and historical comparison will prove meaningful, as it turns out that the so-called religious lifestyle used to be the most common (as compared to today's way of life for most people in the Czech Republic). A religious style of life is one in which elements of transcendence, sacredness or counterintuitiveness play a key role in the highest forms of legitimation and form the basis of symbolic worlds. In a religious lifestyle it is therefore possible to identify elements of behavior, thinking and narrations, in which a hierarchically superior otherworldly entity plays a key role, in which it is possible to find a final solution to the problems of human existence (death, the existence of evil and goodness, etc.). The secular lifestyle lacks these elements. These two models are equal and it cannot be said that one of them is primary, %22normal%22 or superior to the other. These are two models of the world and models for the world. From our perspective, it is important that once a religious element appears in a lifestyle it often becomes decisive, and this style of life gains a powerful legitimizing framework - religion becomes the decisive element, because it covers the vast majority of individual elements of lifestyle (e.g. eating or food preparation, choice of occupation, choice of partner, sexual behavior, time planning, leisure time, etc.).
