Transformation of the Functionality of the Religious Complex as a Realization of its Social Adaptation Capabilities

Abstract

Religion in the history of society, as we know, has not always emerged as a relatively independent spiritual formation. Thus, in the conditions of primitive society, characterized by the syncretic nature of forms of human activity, it was not a separate subsystem, but a qualitative aspect of community life. Therefore, such religious beliefs permeate virtually all spheres of public life, moreover, often were its essence. For this reason, a religious factor was, to one degree or another, present in all the structural and functional elements of social life of the time. It was he who determined the integrity and vector of social development of primitive society itself.
