Legal means of protecting Russian society from threatsin the religious sphere: constitutional foundations

Abstract

The significance of the religious life of society is often underestimated. However, events taking place in the past decades in Russia and abroad demonstrate how religious beliefs prevalent in a particular society can have a global impact in the contemporary world.

In the modern world we are witnessing two major tendencies: on the one hand, the process of secularisation, on the other hand, the rise in religious consciousness and growing religious confrontation in the world, which, according to many analysts, can lead to serious threats to national security provision systems all over the world, and first of all, in Russia. Thus, providing religious security in Russia seems of utmost importance.
