ABSTRACT
In our humble opinion, disputing the role of religion in the contemporary world is a thing of the past. It reflects an old-fashioned ideology, which no longer corresponds not only to the essential demands of society, but also to the evident crucial functions of religion both on the personal and the social level. It would be an unfortunate loss for the democratic political system today if religion were ignored. The truth is that neither religious principles nor secular values exist in isolation, but both flourish in creative and constructive dialogue.
