Abstract

The article is dedicated to the comparative analysis of the basic theories and conceptions, referred to description of the state and prospects of society-religion interplay in modern societies. Such analysis is made from the point of view of possibilities to applying of these theories and conceptions to Ukrainian realities. There is grounded, that neither a theory of secularizing nor theory of “religious economy” can be a base for the complex analysis of social role of religion. It is emphasized that a sociological analysis of society-religion interplay in Ukraine must be base on combination of analysis of processes of secularization and desecularization, with an accent namely on the last. There is proved, that namely desecularization isa main trend in reciprocity of religion and society, but this trend can be combined with retention of secular situation , or even with maintenance of secularization in some spheres), is gradual and slow, can have certain limits, and not necessarily means renewal of situation, taking place before secularization’s success.
