Render unto Caesar

Abstract

An article separates the meaning of faith as the most significant psychic phenomena, religion as a cultural form of «spiritual navigation» (V.M. Rozin) and church as a social institution. The psychological distinction between the «external» declarative and the deep «internal» religiousness is emphasized, as well as the importance of psychology in assessing the degree of authenticity of religious orientations.
