Psychology and Religion: Parallel Problematic and Object Planes

Abstract

This article addresses to controversial questions which concern the interrelationship of content of properly scientific and religious viewing and also interpretation of reality which surrounds us. In this case planes of scientific and religious consideration are parallel, i.e. non-overlapping. Besides the answer to the question whether science can be religious and a religion ­ scientific, a significant part of the article is dedicated to the assessment of the religious approach attempts to penetrate into education and scientific knowledge. Such a boundary conflict is considered as mainly the result of an aggressive position and activity of so-called «Christian psychologists». Stating the former, the author expresses his exclusively personal opinion on the issue.
