In the Russian Federation, as well as in other countries, there is a process of reviving the religiosity of the population and the formation of a mass religious consciousness, which exists in parallel with the scientific one. The number of religious buildings in which ministers contribute to the clericalization of the consciousness of society is growing. This contradicts the secular nature of the state, which is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation and other normative acts. The state is forced to take into account the sentiments of the population and forms a policy that has been called post-secular. The inconsistency of the state secular educational policy with the policy and religiosity of the attitudes of participants in the educational process leads to conf licts, in the resolution of which the Prosecutor’s Office and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation take part. The heads of educational organizations are in a difficult position due to the presence of these contradictions, as well as the possibility of multiple interpretation of educational legislation and the lack of training of teaching staff. It should be taken into account that a significant part of the teachers who started working back in Soviet times only listened to lectures on scientific atheism.It is the lack of religious studies and theological training of educational workers that can provoke interfaith conflicts that will have to be resolved by state authorities.
