Summary/Abstract: In this paper I express certain views on the fundamental questions about religion placed in sociological and anthropological scientific optic reception, as they are presented almost in the school sense within contemporary tendencies of the development of a modern world whose character changes on a daily basis, and where religious communities within the same, at all levels of social and anthropological analysis become increasingly important factors in shaping everyday life. In this work, among other things, I would like to point out some fundamental differences and convergences between sociology and anthropology of religion, where some of the most important and frequent definitions of religion created in these scientific disciplines are poorly shown. The principle thesis could be sublimed in the fact that one should start with the research of religion multidisciplinary and multidimensionally. Considering the type of work, and having in mind more extensive and lateral starting points, standpoints and definitions could not be consciously involved. This paper consists of the introductory part, four chapters and conclusion.
