Актуальность исследования связана со сложностью и неоднозначностью протекания процесса глобализации в религиозной сфере, а также потребностью в поиске новых методов исследования глобализации, которые не ограничиваются констатацией её объективности и амбивалентности, перечислением положительных и отрицательных сторон. Цель работы: обосновать применение системного подхода и теории социальных полей П. Бурьде для анализа глобализации в религиозном дискурсе. Методы исследования: системный и структурно-функциональный анализ социальных полей, с помощью которых выявлены области дискурса, различающиеся по целям акторов, социальным функциям и содержанию религиозного дискурса о глобализации. Результаты. Выявлены социальные поля, оказывающие наиболее существенное влияние на взаимоотношения религии и глобализации: поле религии, поле политики и массово-коммуникационное поле. Наиболее жесткое противостояние процессам глобализации на основе религиозного вероучения наблюдается в поле религии. В поле политики наблюдается тенденция к идеологизации религии. В этом поле отмечается высокий накал политической борьбы за символическую власть религиозных, политических и иных взглядов. В массово-коммуникационном поле заметны тенденция к упрощению и взаимозаменяемости религий, формирование «усредненной» экуменической религии или новых религиознопсихологических движений. ; The relevance of the research is related to the complexity and ambiguity of globalization in the religioussphere, as well as the need to search for new methods of globalization research, which are not limited to ascertaining its objectivity and ambivalence, transferring positive and negative sides. The aim of the work is tojustify the application of the system approach and P. Bourdieu theory of social fields for analysis of globalization in religious discourse. Methods. The system and structural-functional analysis of social fields used in thework allowed us to identify areas of discourse that differ in the aims of actors, social functions and the content of religious discourse about globalization. Results. The author has revealed the social fields that havethe most significant impact on the relationship between religion and globalization: the field of religion, thefield of politics and the mass communication field. The most severe opposition to globalization on the basis ofreligious dogma is observed in the field of religion. In the field of politics there is a tendency to ideologize religion. In this field there is a high intensity of political struggle for the symbolic power of religious, politicaland other views. In the mass-communication field there is a noticeable tendency towards simplification andinterchangeability of religions, the formation of an «average» ecumenical religion or new religiouspsychological movements.

The author aims to show that the forecasts of some theorists, philosophers and sociologists about the secularization and inevitable disappearance and marginalization of religion in the process of modernization of society, did not come true. Religion as a social institution has survived and has indicated its return to society and its importance not only for the individual but also for the collective consciousness and action. Deterministic frameworks of the processes of religious changes toward desecularization of society are the result of important changes in society itself: on the one hand the religious traditions acquire political significance and importance in the society, while on the other side they deprivatize faith and behavior of individuals, which can be considered as representing the crucial elements of the process of desecularization of society. These examples compelled the authors like David Martin and Peter Berger to review their theories about secularization of society during 1960s and 1970s, by presenting new ideas about desecularization of society or by limiting the theory of secularization to Western Europe countries only.

Констатируется, что экстремизм связан с политическими амбициями обретения властных полномочий с помощью насилия. Такие амбиции могут присутствовать и в религии, особенно если она выдвигает универсалистские претензии. Утверждается, что религиозно-мотивированный экстремизм присутствует в движениях, для которых характерно представление о невозможности толерантного отношения к иным религиозным формам и воззрениям. Религиозный экстремизм, показательным примером которого сегодня является исламизм, ориентирован на установление теократии, а не политической диктатуры. Показано, что постоянно готовый к насилию религиозный экстремизм дрейфует в сторону религиозного терроризма, который представляет собой агрессивные насильственные действия против несогласных с экстремистами людей. Насилие служит достижению религиозных, политических или идеологических целей, а терроризм является средством оказания давления. ; Extremism is associated with the political ambitions of gaining power through violence. Such ambitions can also be present in religion, especially if it imposes universalist claims. There is religiously motivated extremism in the movements for which the conception of the impossibility of tolerant attitude to other religious forms and views is typical. Religious extremism, exemplified by Islamism today, is directed toward establishing a theocracy, not a political dictatorship. Constantly ready for violence, religious extremism is drifting towards religious terrorism, which is an aggressive violent act against people who disagree with extremists. Violence serves religious, political or ideological purposes, and terrorism is a mean of putting pressure.

This article reviews the ideas and motives of modern terrorism, discloses the concept of destructive human behavior, the analysis of the socio-cultural situation at the beginning of the XXI century and revealed disturbing factors intensify nationalist and religious terrorism as the most dangerous form of terrorism.

Based on analysis of condition of different confessions, the religious situation in occupied Donbass is researched. It turns out that religious policy in self-proclaimed republics is heading towards, on one side, to consolidation of Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate, but on the other side, to crowding outof other religions from occupied territories. Through the help of Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate the idea of the so-called "Russian World" is implemented among different categories of population. Russian Ortho- dox Church was involved into Donbass conflict and its head, Patriarch Cyril. By hiding Russian aggression in Ukraine, he is trying to picture it as "civil conflict". Pro-Russian positionas to the Donbas developments is also taken by a part of bishops of Ukrainian Orthodox Church clergy. It reinforced negative attitude of Ukrainian population and lead to acceleration of the transition of religious communities under the author- ity of the Kyiv Patriarchate. Attempts of the orthodox religious communities to change their inferiority are related to the reinforcement of their Pro-Ukrainian positions. It is stated that in occupied Donbass territo- ries, Ukrainian Orthodox Church and Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church turned out to be in a complicated situation. Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Protestant religious organizations. Considering a difficult state of faithful Catholics in the breakaway republic, Vatican, the Pope provides them material aid and spiritual support. Since the policy of «DNR» and «LNR» is aimed at complete eradication of "sects" of Donbas, the actions of the occupation authorities significantly affected Protestant believers. Due to organizational frag- mentation,in occupied territories of Donbassfaithful Muslimsfailed to develop a common political position. The article states that harassment and persecution of various religious organizations, clergymen, leaving their followers to safe areas in the occupied territories of Donbass greatly diminished religious network, the number of communities, churches occupancy. The normalization of religious and church life in the region is inextricably linked with the cessation of armed conflict and its de-occupation. ; На основі аналізу становища різних конфесій досліджується релігійна ситуація на окупованих територіях Донбасу.

Introduction. The analysis of new religious movements (NRMs), identification of the defects in the religious typology and classification of native faith as "neo-religion" are conducted by the author. The research shows the diversity of the followers purposes' of traditional and new religious movements and their ideological systems (national – international), reveals the opposites of these religions in terms of the world and God/Gods (natural – artificial; mythological – historical, polytheism – monotheism, immanence – transcendence), etc., which enabled the author to find out the criteria for religious classifications. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to clear up the basic principles of theology, ideals, and ideologies of New Age and native faith of the Slavs, to determine their fundamental opposition. It's logically motivated the fallacy of classification the native faith to "neo-paganism" as a segment of NRMs. Results. It is concluded that native faith was and still is a traditional autochthonous natural religion of the Ukrainians, which has long existed in hidden forms in parallel with the official Christianity. Only in a democratic society it has been given the possibility of its revival as officially recognized ethno-religious (national) confession. On the example of the creation of NRM, the author states the use of the methods of manipulation with human consciousness that have the features of "religious weapons" as one of the tools of information war. Originality and conclusion. There is an urgent need for state's awareness of the fact of total world informational war to create its own self-protective philosophy of antiglobalism. So in this philosophy a significant importance will be given to scientific developments of native faith and ideology of national self-preservation to prevent the foreign intervention in autochthonous spiritual culture.

Rémond, т. 3: Du Roi Très Chrétien à la laïcité républicaine / ред. P. Joutard. Paris 1991, с. 108-143. Українською мовою есе публікується за згодою Автора, з коментарем д. і. н. Вадима Ададурова. ; Есе характеризує взаємодію між політичним і релігійним рівнями суспільної активности у Франції в період між укладенням у 1801 р. конкордату й ухваленням у 1901-1904 рр. законів про відокремлення Церкви від держави. Оповідь зосереджується на трьох головних точках взаємодії політики і релігії, якими було ставлення до Римського престолу, до спадщини Французької революції та до освіти. ; The author elucidates the interaction between political and religious social activism in France during the period between the signing of the Concordat (1801) and the adoption of laws on governing the separation of church and state (1901-1904). Three main points of intersection between politics and religion are identified as attitudes to: (i) the Holy See; (ii) the legacy of the French Revolution; and (iii) education.

The article is devoted to one of the most urgent problems of modern religious studies – the problem of mutual influence of religion and globalization processes. It is noted that the term "globalization" itself is not completely open in terms of methodology. The article substantiates the position on the interrelation of religious and globalization processes with their main aspects – axiological and ethical. We can talk about the distribution of non-traditional religions on global and local. Local are those whose impacts are spread in one or two regions, do not go beyond the country. As to the effects of globalization on such religious entities, they are minimal. In addition, such educations are, to a greater degree, totalitarian entities that are subject to a charismatic leader, they are isolated from society and, thus, from globalization. Unlike local, global non-traditional religions are a "product" of globalization processes. But, if in the economic, socio-cultural spheres globalization is unification, it is the destruction of borders and divisions, and then religious globalization includes a diversity of religious nature. Undeniably non-traditional religions, both local and global, are serious rivals for traditional religions and cause a negative reaction from the latter. The influence of economic, cultural, informational and religious globalization on a person is analyzed; special attention is paid to the emergence and spread of non-traditional religious movements and currents that may lead to the emergence of a "one-dimensional person". There is also a link between globalization with religious fundamentalism and its extreme manifestations – terrorism. ; Статья посвящена одной из актуальных проблем современного религиоведения – проблеме взаимовлияния религии и глобализационных процессов. Отмечается, что сам термин "глобализация" не является окончательно раскрытым с точки зрения методологии.

Аналізуються впливи економічної, культурної, інформаційної та релігійної глобалізації на людину, особлива увага приділяється виникненню та поширенню нетрадиційних релігійних рухів і течій, що можуть призвести до виникнення "одномірної людини". Також прослідковується зв'язок глобалізації з релігійним фундаменталізмом та його крайніми проявами – тероризмом.
