Summary/Abstract: Linguistic communication in the subsystem of religious style is significantly specific, as it can take place in affirmative connection (environment of faith), in indifference to faith (environment of disinterest) and in controversy (environment of militant atheism). Thus, one can consider the duality of the communication channel, while its differentiation is predestined by the environment of faith. F. Vouga identifies the presence of the Fourth in threesubject communication in the perception of the Bible. In this study, we attempt to extend the validity of this model to the entire area of religious style.
