Christianity as a Religion

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this text is religion in general and Christianity in particu- lar. The aim is to show the essence of religion and the uniqueness of Christianity. The research issues concern the essence of religion, which is indicated by its definitions and functions. The following questions are addressed: What is religion? What are its components? What elements constitute it? In the article, the methods of critical analysis of texts and phenomenological and synthetic analysis were used. The proper understanding of religion as such, including Christianity, which is focused on the Triune God and Jesus Christ and man, has a number of implications in everyday life. Therefore, it is necessary to know the essence of religion and the nature of Christianity in order to unmask attempts at manipulating religion in social and political life. Getting to know Christianity as a religion can prepare one for inter- cultural, interreligious, and ecumenical dialogue. What is important here is theoretical preparation, which provides the basis for active, practical involvement in the process of dialogue and education, not only of the younger generation.
