Abstract

Discussions about the role and place of religious knowledge in the system of modern universal education have a rather sporadic character. The interest to this, largely worldview-related theme is produced mainly by external factors - governmental decisions and mass medias. The proposed historical review is conditioned by other reasons and has not a situation-related, but rather an objectively-philosophical character. The first starting thesis of this article is consideration of education as a social institute, engaging in sociocultural reproduction and development of society. The second thesis is related to other element of social structure, religion. Within the framework of functional analysis, the basic zone of its interests and responsibility is strengthening of the religiously-spiritual, moral state of society. Understanding of the certain functional and historically formed intersection of these social institutes does not require an additional argumentation. A task is to remind about close connection and millennial unity of these institutes.
