Summary/Abstract: Against the background of several biographies of non-religious persons in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, this paper opens the discussion about the sources of reactionary conservatism in the non-religious sphere, parallel to the revival of religious fundamentalism after state-socialism. The argument is that the post-socialist conservative turn has to be analysed with regard to wider implications resulting from the transformations of social organization of politics under state-socialism and the post-socialist ideology that I define as post-peasant integralism.
