Ethnoreligia as a scientific concept: the definitions of "knowledge" and "faith", "natural" and "supernatural"

Abstract

Religion is a phenomenon of the spiritual life of mankind, its world-view basis, which regulates the daily life and behavior of man, and also allows communication with the "supernatural" (the Supreme Mind, the Absolute God) through the rites.
The overwhelming majority of definitions of the religious phenomenon relies mainly on two categories of religious studies: "supernatural" and "faith." For example, religion is defined as: "a spiritual phenomenon, which expresses not only the belief in the existence of a supernatural Beginning, which is the source of existence of all existing, but also acts as a means of communicating with him, entering into his world."
