THE COMMON RELIGIOUS CONSCIOUSNESS AS A SPIRITUAL COGNITION OF THE WORLD

Abstract

The article is devoted to the religious consciousness
that is an important component of the social consciousness.
The common religious consciousness appears to be
one of the levels of religious consciousness. The present research
is based on the fact that each of the world religions has
a particular level of common religious consciousness made
up of the traditions and the peculiarities of the religion itself.
The author illustrates the realization of common religious
consciousness in tree world religions (Buddhism, Christianity,
and Islam). Islam alongside with the other religions managed
to create a rather effective system of moral laws that regulate
different aspect of everyday life. The most important qualities
mentioned in Koran are humbleness, modesty, the ability
to control ones passions and desires, straightforwardness,
patience, etc.
