Religion in the fate of the Ukrainian people (historical past and probable future)

Abstract

In the life of an individual as well as the whole of society (community, community, race, tribe, nation), the worldview is one and the foundation of their spiritual life and its highest manifestation. Paraphrasing the well-known expression of Hegel's philosophy ("Philosophy is a flower of the culture of the nation."), It is possible to say with greater certainty that the worldview itself is a flower and a product, a factor and a consequence of the culture of the nation. In the historical past, the dominant worldview of mankind was a religious outlook; in other words - in the spiritual world of humanity, religion was undivided. This pattern is quite relevant to our, Ukrainian, people.
