- Abstract
- Deep relationship between the ideas backing the freedom of religion principle on the one hand, and the existential aspects of Human personality on the other is demonstrated. The difference between "freedom of consciousness" and "religious toleration" notions is highlighted, those two being quite different principles regulating relations between the State and its believing (or non-believing) subjects and their associations. Difficult history of relations between the State, Orthodoxy represented by Russian Orthodox Church and other confessions in Czarist, Soviet and post-Soviet Russia is seen to some degree as a kind of conflicts between those two principles. Evolution of the legislation regulating religious worship is traced. Some shortcomings of current Russian legislation and its departures from the principles of freedom of religion and from secular nature of the State are mentioned.
