Every year on the third Sunday of January, on the initiative of the UN, the whole world celebrates World Religion Day. The history of the holiday dates to 1950, the main purpose of which is to emphasize the idea that spiritual principles, laid in the basis of world religions, unite the world, not divide it. This gives a reason to pay attention once again to the role of religion in the modern world.
Representatives of many religions and denominations have lived in Ukraine for a long time. Before the start of a full-scale invasion of our country there were 35,000 religious organizations and more than a hundred different religious denominations. So, establishing dialogue between cultures and religions is important for society, for implementation of joint social projects, balanced state policy in support of educational, scientific research activities and the development of educational programs for the purpose of obtaining quality scientific information and education of society in a fruitful atmosphere cooperation in mutual respect for each other’s worldview differences.
