Abstract
Abstract Historically, the states of the Visegrád-group share a lot of commonalities. However, one can observe very different developments regarding religion and the establishment of RE especially between Czech Republic on the one hand and Poland and Slovakia on the other. These differences might be explained by the fact that in the collective memory of the Czech Republic Christian stories are very strongly connected with oppression by the Roman Catholic Church. In contrast, the collective memory of Poland and Slovakia is much more strongly linked to positive identity-building stories of Christianity in their own history.
