The article contains an overview of modern approaches to the question of whether beliefs, specifically religious relations, practices or religious groups are the cause of intergroup conflict. The considered key arguments «for» and «against» the decisive role of religion in the intergroup opposition that is related to the religious factor do not allow drawing definite conclusions. Studies show that the role of a key variable in the structure of interreligious hostility - religious fundamentalism – is extremely ambiguous and strongly depends on the characteristics of the situation (for example, the nature of priming with religious texts), and on the cultural context. The specificity of micro and macro levels in a particular situation can lead to both – an increase and a leveling out of the «religion-specific» factor in intergroup opposition.

Schlüsselwörter: Disziplingeschichte, deutsche Erziehungswissenschaft, Bedeutung der KonfessionDisziplingeschichte wird bisher vorrangig auf nationale Kontexte bezogen und wenn kulturell, dann in Sprachkulturen und Theorietraditionen diskutiert und für das Hochschulsystem erforscht, wie sie für den deutschsprachigen Bereich typisch sind. Die Geschichte der Erziehungswissenschaft in Deutschland zeigt demgegenüber, dass jenseits nationaler Einheitsformen, wie sie durch die Sprache, die Struktur der Universitäten und durch die Ordnung der Lehrerbildung erzwungen werden, weitere kulturelle und soziale Differenzen bedeutsam bleiben. Der Vortrag soll vor allem die fortdauernde Bedeutung der Konfession und die politische und gewerkschaftliche Organisation von Lehrern und Parteien als Differenzmerkmal herausarbeiten und die Mechanismen klären, wie diese Faktoren wirksam werden.Keywords: history of discipline, German science of education, role of religionNations and their cultural context, mostly defined by language, by the specific national systems of higher education and by the forms of teacher training dominate worldwide the current analysis of the discipline of education in its modern history, despite of all international relationships. The central thesis of the here presented arguments is that in the case of German Pedagogy and the German science of education the concentration on nation, language and the system of higher education is misleading in understanding the genuine dynamic of their special history in Germany. Contrary to the dominating interpretation the article tries to demonstrate that hereby the central role of religion, of socio-political factors like the tradition and form of the trade unions of teachers and of the pedagogical and political ideologies of the political parties is ignored or underestimated in its continuing impact on the discipline of education. The role of these factors is both effective and significant in the structure of arguments and theory-building and in the construction of social networks inside and outside of the academic field

Sacred object: On the cultural migrations of the Three monkeys from NikkoThe text is concerned with transformations of a sacred object during its spreading and functioning beyond its original cultural context. The author uses the example of the cultural migrations of the Three monkeys from Nikko and claims that during the process of desacralization the symbol is transformed into a sign or emblem. This process indicates the functions and the role of religion in con­temporary culture. From a different perspective, when a sacred object is treated as a ritual object 1 sensitive experience could be taken into account and 2 objects’ power could be recognized in acting.

Spiritual Unity

Ivan Ogienko (1882-1972), also known as Metropolitan Hilarion, devoted much attention to the role and place of religion in the national life of Ukrainians and their ethnic identity in their scholarly and theological works. Without exaggeration it can be argued that the problem of national unity of the Ukrainian people is one of the key principles of all historiosophical considerations of the famous scholar and theologian. If the purpose of the spiritual life of a Ukrainian, according to his views, is to serve God, then the purpose of state or terrestrial life is the dedicated service to his people. The purpose of heaven and the purpose of the earthly paths, intersecting in the life of a certain group of people through the lives of its individual representatives, give rise to a unique alliance of spiritual unity, the name of which is "people" or "nation." Religion (faith) in the process of transforming the anarchist crowd into a spiritually integrated and orderly national integrity serves as the transformer of the imperfect nature of the human soul into perfect.

Role Of Religion

One of the most important reasons for such a clearly distressed state of society was the decline of religion as a social force, the external manifestation of which is the weakening of religious institutions. "Religion," Baha'u'llah writes, "is the greatest of all means of establishing order in the world to the universal satisfaction of those who live in it." The weakening of the foundations of religion strengthened the ranks of ignoramuses, gave them impudence and arrogance. "I truly say that everything that belittles the supreme role of religion opens way for the revelry of maliciousness, inevitably leading to anarchy. " In another Tablet, He says: "Religion is a radiant light and an impregnable fortress that ensures the safety and well-being of the peoples of the world, for God-fearing induces man to adhere to the good and to reject all evil." Blink the light of religion, and chaos and distemper will set in, the radiance of justice, justice, tranquility and peace. "

An important problem of religious studies, the history of religion as a branch of knowledge is the periodization process of the development of religious phenomenon. It is precisely here, as in focus, that the question of the essence and meaning of the religious development of the human being of the world, the origin of beliefs and cult, the reasons for the changes in them, the place and role of religion in the social and spiritual process, etc., are converging.
