Summary/Abstract: The most important definition of the formation of the foundations of a democratic legal state and civil society is the attitude to religion. The readiness of the confessions operating in Uzbekistan to consolidate in solving the issues of spiritual and moral development of the multinational people, which has been repeatedly noted in practice, is an indicator of the optimal policy in this matter. The philosophy of the confessional policy of independent Uzbekistan includes the following ideological imperatives: respect for the religious feelings of believers; recognition of religious beliefs as a private matter of a citizen or association; equality of citizens regardless of their attitude to religion, equality of all faiths; inadmissibility of using religion for destructive purposes, separation of the education system from religion.
