Abstract
The article deals with the characteristics of religious discourse and peculiarities of religious consciousness; it is noted that religion and religious consciousness influence many constituents of culture and as a result of such influence religious philosophy, religious morality, religious art arise. Religious principle forms the basis of any culture. Main features and levels of religious consciousness realization are considered in the article. A large number of lexical units having religious origin and functioning in the language are evidence of the impact of religion on the culture formation.

Summary
Culture represents a global system, a rather complicated “natural-artificial” formation. Culture represents a living organism, because it reproduces itself, assimilates and processes the nature and surrounding world, reacts in a particular way to the impact of other cultures [1,2,3,4,5]. Culture presents a result of people’s activity which consists in aspiration to support traditions, to improve life and to confront traditions of destruction which can take place, etc. “In the structure of linguistic personality a particular place is occupied by values - the most fundamental characteristics of culture, the highest reference points of behaviour” [6: 116]
