Zdeněk R. Nešpor Religion in the Lyrics of the Czech Underground Zdeněk R. Nešpor, "Religion in the Lyrics of the Czech Underground", Central European Journal of Contemporary Religion 4 (2, 2020): p. 35-57. The study analyses various types of religion
manifested in the lyrics of Czech underground musicians in the 1970s and 1980s.
The author primarily examines the religious,
implicitly religious, and social sources of musicians and the recipient
communities in religion. In the second part of the study, he focuses on the
types and ways of presenting religious content. Although much of it was derived
from ecclesiastical Christianity (which does not mean that it corresponded to
specific confessions or religious traditions), he also notes non-Christian and
alternative spiritualities parallel to any organised religion. Although the article
does not pay much attention to the reception of the underground religion
and its communities, the author concludes that this phenomenon was among the
key manifestations of modern self-oriented spirituality in Czech society.
