Abstract
Both practical and theoretical issues of the connection between religion and law, especially in the context of a full-scale war in Ukraine, have a significant impact on the existence of the entire state mechanism.
 A comprehensive study of the interaction of institutions of law and religion, primarily determined by the fact that, despite the different purposes of their existence, religion and law act as value-normative systems in the process of regulating relations in society. Considering the law as a regulator, it should be recognized that its mission in society is to approve the regulatory framework, the regulatory legal impact on public relations. The law regulates social relations in interaction with other norms, an element of the system of social regulation. One of such elements is religion in relation to its values and regulations.
 At the same time, in conditions of war, it is the Christian religion, being a moral and normative system, influences the formation and implementation of secular legal norms. There is a kind of implementation of them in law, as a result, we use the law, in fact, resorting to the help of Christianity. It is impossible to completely separate seemingly purely religious norms from secular ones; for all their remoteness from worldly problems, they actually play a significant role in shaping lawful human behavior, producing a stable system of values that is not indifferent to law. These values can act as motives for socially positive behavior. However, today the basic Christian values (first of all such category as “don’t kill”), their embodiment in the current legislation of our state and practical application take place. We are convinced that a new concept of the relationship between the state and the church, law and religion awaits us in the near future, not only at the national but also at the international level.
