Interreligious dialogue in modern Uzbekistan

Abstract

Formulation of the problem. Religion, being a special form of social consciousness, influences interfaith and interethnic relations and, as a result, the social stability of the whole society. In these conditions, the importance of interfaith dialogue for strengthening the spiritual basis of peaceful coexistence is growing. Modern experience shows that cultural, social, religious, and other important factors in the development of society have an increasingly serious impact on the overall socio-political stability both at the regional and international levels. The further development of interreligious and intercultural dialogue between different confessions is becoming more and more urgent for successful cooperation on issues of concern to society. The principle of equality of its participants, interethnic and interfaith tolerance will undoubtedly contribute to the achievement of mutual understanding between representatives of various religious traditions, forming a new worldview of people, and becoming the basis of social harmony. Because interethnic and interfaith tolerance is based on universal human values.
