The article deals with territorial distribution of four basic groups - Roman Catholics, Protestants, confessors of the Church of Czechoslovakia and atheists - in 1930 and 1991, the only censuses with accessible data about religious structure of population since 1921. The stability of areas with traditionally high support of each denomination and atheists is discussed as same as regional variability of the secularization process.
