Sažetak
Secularistic tendencies in Croatia in the past 150 years can be analytically regarded through the concept of (semi-)periphery. Namely, since the 19th century, when anti-clerical ideas appeared in political and literary (modernistic) circles they expressed reflection of a much broader process that sought to reject hegemonic systems in Europe. During the other half of the 20th century, systematically imposed secularization and atheisation of Croatian society was part of established communist ideology in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. After the collapse of communism, although Croatia experienced resurgence of religion, certain activism of organized non-religious and atheistic groups can be observed in public. This paper seeks to analyze in which part is this activism a reflection of cultural imperialism of Western countries and spreading of the patterns established by the movement of New Atheism and in which part is it original. The analysis is based on close observation of non-religious and atheistic organizations in Croatia during the period from 2016 to 2019, and it will include the analysis of their web pages, materials they disseminate, their public activities (protests, gatherings) and group communication (in groups on social media).
