Summary/Abstract: The concept of traditional religion is a complex phenomenon containing within itself legal, customary, moral, and other positions. For historical reasons, it has settled in each individual society in a unique and authentic way, in the different nation-states, exchanging active and passive influence with other deontic and axiological systems. The special and essential role of the traditional religion in the Republic of Bulgaria - the Eastern Orthodox faith - is an explicitly enshrined constitutional postulate with the meaning of an element of national identity, on the basis of which doctrinal, administrative, judicial, and other positions are developed, in the complex and dynamic environment of the phenomenon of rule of law.
