Religion in the Context of modern Culture and Politics: Problems and Prospects

Abstract

The article deals with the phenomenon of religious and spiritual life in the context of the contradictory process of globalization and the growing ideological and cultural influence of the “production” of the media on the consciousness and spirituality of mankind, including religious and cultural heritage. An attempt is made to carry out a philosophical and methodological analysis of the modern world in new discourses and narratives of the culture of perception of religiosity: it is concluded that today it is difficult for states to find axiological landmarks outside the religious heritage. The problems and factors of preserving traditional religions in conditions of total tolerance are outlined. The author concludes that the influence of the religious factor as a factor of faith in the spiritual dimension of humanity is growing. The author is confident in the need to preserve traditional values and the importance of spiritual life. The article made a reasonable statement that our life today is maximally politicized; we are immersed in politics and political problems. It is concluded that in relations between the state and religious organizations today there are more problems than positive practices.
