Summary/Abstract: The author has analyzed a religious influence on entrepreneurship in non secular states. In this context the author has examined understanding a business activity by religious doctrines. The researcher mentions that relations between a religion as a social system and entrepreneurship are considered in several aspects: 1) ethical evaluation of entrepreneurship and business processes; 2) restriction of some types of business activities and economic operations; 3) formation of peculiar economic sectors servicing religious requests; 4) activities of churches and religious communities as business agents. Vision of development of the economy and business are detected in respective doctrines. Analysis of these doctrines indicates that they play rather the social role than the economic one. They do not tend to solving economic development problems, but they are concentrated on positive and negative consequences of such development for a human, a state, and a society on the whole.
