Summary/Abstract: It is not easy to define the meaning of the religion, nevertheless it is clear that in different historical periods the position of it was different. The religion not only deals externally, but also it is important that it embraces the internal rules of the man. For Christianity it is important to preserve and cherish divine grace, human dignity and other natural law principles in the content of social rules. The man realises in different way his own life, therefore he or she selects one’s respective needs. Criteria of the foundation of such needs predetermine the formation of a man as religious, social and psychological individual. The promotion of different aims when the man wants to please God and to satisfy his or her own wishes leads to the division and antagonism in the human society.
