Аннотация

The uniqueness of the political importance of religion in the civilizational approach is more evident when analyzing the reasons for the actualization of the theory of civilization in the modern socio-political reality. Increasing attention to the socio-cultural importance of religion, promoting a civilizational approach to the agenda is due to several factors. This is reflected in the rapid migration processes in developed countries and, as a result, the formation of new ethno-confessional communities within the states. Such a phenomenon is very characteristic, in particular, for modern Europe.
