Conclusion. The processes of postsecular transformations envisage a not return to presecular times, but deep rethinking of previous (both religious and society) experience of comprehension the problems of existence of a man and the association. Postsecular is not a denial of secular; postsecular germinates inwardly and from secular. The postsecularity, unlike desecularization, envisages forward motion, but not return back. The proceeding in authority of religion becomes one of the important tendencies that characterize development of modern society. On changing to the centuries of secularizing the increase of interest in religion comes. Religion becomes one of main factors and instruments of regional and world politics today. Religion returns, but she returns not into empty place, but in the landscape formed by the processes of secularizing.
