Political accents of modern interactions religious and secular in society

The purpose of this work is to study the modern interactions of religious and secular societies, they are simultaneously considered through organizational, legal and political points of view. By the method, the author chose an analytical review of the regulatory framework, foreign and domestic publications on the interaction of religious and secular in society. The work is based on a secondary analysis of data from socio-political surveys of leading research centers - the VTsIOM, the analytical center of Yuri Levada and the Europe Social Survey. Since today the issue of national security, the fight against religious extremism and terrorism, the prevention of conflicts on a religious basis, the harmonization of interfaith relations, the author's study is relevant. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by a comprehensive review of the legislative basis of freedom of conscience in Russia and abroad, as well as a political and organizational analysis of cases and content. Such an analysis suggests that the system of international law and the legislation of the Russian Federation, State-confessional policy, has made it possible to include religious organizations not only in the social sphere, but also in the system of public administration, in the political process. An analysis of cases, content and practices allows us to conclude that representatives of the religious and secular parts of society do not always have the same opportunities, rights, freedoms in the conduct of their activities. Unbelievers or representatives of other small (non-traditional) faiths may be an acceptable side.
