Summary/Abstract: According to the fundamental law of any country, the Constitution, we must remember the Law on Religious Denominations, a law that regulates religious life in a State. The Constitution and the Law on Religious Denominations are in a close connection, even inseparable, as is the connection between body and soul. The appearance of the Law on Religious Denominations in 2006 meant the moment of the spiritual maturation of the Romanian society. The Law on Religious Denominations cannot claim any “sacred” character, but it has cultivated respect for the “sacred”, for religious beliefs and fundamental human rights. It did not create any other system of values, but sought to legislate the old Romanian traditions of mutual understanding and respect. The Romanian Law on Religious Denominations did not disregard any religious faith, did not overestimate any atheistic cult or ideology, nor did it introduce any State religion.
