FREEDOM – RELIGION – RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Summary/Abstract: The article points to a voluntary tendency in the history of philosophy, which is the theoretical justification for the phenomenon of the absolutisation of freedom. This phenomenon also occurs in practical life, where freedom is no longer understood as freedom to truth and goodness and within the limits of natural law, but as negative freedom. The absence of natural limitations to human freedom leads to its absolutisation and permissiveness, and consequently to attempts by the state and the law to limit it, which leads to its negation. However, the conflict between freedom and nature, nature and culture, freedom and law is illusive. The article points out the ontic basis of human freedom, a synthesis of the freedom and religion in the form of religious freedom, threats to freedom and religion from atheism, fideism, sentimentalism and individualism. The data to defense against the reduction of freedom and religion are from realistic philosophy, showing the rational and objective character of freedom and religion.
