5. Translate into English: религия в современном мире
Одной из древнейших форм культуры является религия. Религия – это определенные взгляды и представления людей, соответствующие обряды и культы.
Сердцем религии является вера. Вера, по словам Евангелия, есть осуществление ожидаемого и уверенность в невидимом. Она чужда всякой логике, и поэтому ей не страшны обоснования атеистами того, что Бога нет, и не нужны логические подтверждения того, что Он есть. В чем особенности религиозной веры? Первым ее элементом является вера в само существование Бога как творца всего существующего, управителя всеми делами, поступками, помыслами людей. Значит, за все поступки человека отвечают управляющие им высшие силы? Согласно современным религиозным учениям, человек наделен Богом свободой воли, обладает свободой выбора и в силу этого сам отвечает за свои поступки и за будущее своей души.
Идея существования Бога – центральный момент религиозной веры. В течение многих веков богословы всех религий стремились доказать существование Бога. Однако, немецкий философ И. Кант убедительно показал в своих рассуждениях, что логическим путем доказать ни существование Бога, ни его отсутствие невозможно, остается только верить.
В мире существует многообразие верований, сект, церковных организаций. Это и различные формы политеизма (многобожия), традиции которых идут от первобытных религий (веры в духов, поклонения растениям, животным, душам умерших). С ними соседствуют разные формы монотеизма (единобожия). Здесь и национальные религии – конфуцианство (Китай), иудаизм (Израиль) и т.д., и мировые религии, сформировавшиеся в эпоху возникновения империй и нашедшие себе приверженцев среди народов, говорящих на разных языках, - буддизм, христианство, ислам. Именно мировые религии оказывают наибольшее влияние на развитие современных цивилизаций.
