RELIGIOSITY AND RELIGIOUS REVOLUTIONS

Religiosity is understood as a social quality of a group of people, determined, first of all, by their worldview. The stages of religiosity in the history of mankind are considered in a rectangular coordinate system with perpendicular axes. In general terms, this can be thought of as a wavy curved line with vertical oscillations, expressing a decrease and an increase in religiosity, which can fluctuate and change over a relatively short period of time quite significantly. The first religious revolution in the history of mankind in the Mediterranean region was the coming, establishment, and spread of Christianity. The second is the emergence of a new world religion. In Russia, there were three radical changes in the spiritual life of society: the advent of Christianity in place of Slavic polytheism; the attempt of an atheist state to destroy all religions; the return of the religious palette to the post-Soviet period.
