Abstract

Religion, with its postulates of helping its neighbor, has identified many current forms of social support. Thus, religious norms over time become a way of life, part of the culture, public morality and behavior for individual nations and peoples. Charitable activities are sometimes closely linked with the spread of dogma, including among followers of other religions, and somehow turn out to be an integral part of missionary work, which, in turn, leads to social tension. Another specific problem is the lack of experience among government officials in managing this important area of social activity. All this and much more require scientific reflection.
