We humans are fascinating animals. We believe in things for which we have no evidence, and we invest an extraordinary amount of resources—in the form of money, energy, and time—to communicate with and appease these things, build enormous and monumental buildings for them, and do whatever we think they want us to do.

I am a social scientist who uses field, survey, longitudinal, and experimental methods to investigate why humans do all of that. I obtained my PhD from the Laboratory for the Experimental Research of Religion (LEVYNA), Masaryk University, in 2023 based on the work on religious pilgrimages. Currently, I am working as a postdoc at Religion Programme, University of Otago, New Zealand, and as research affiliate at European Research University in the Czech Republic.
