Connecting the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences in the study of religious traditions and their general conditions

We educate

"Religious Studies taught me above all to think critically — to look up sources, not to accept everything as given fact, but to ask questions and investigate."

We experiment

We study religious behavior in collaboration with the natural and social sciences.

We invite leading experts on both classic and new topics to Brno.
