The state regulates its relationship towards the church through legal ordinances presented by organs of state government The growth of society made it necessary that these relationships should be regulated, especially because civil order has to be maintained and conflicts between different religions within one state must be avoided. In this article attention is directed towards the constitutionals and legal aspects of the freedom of religion and towards the framework of norms within which religious communities function in our country The author comes to the conclusion that the citizens' constitutional rights pertaining to religion arc based on the general constitutional principles concerning human freedom, and in particular those in the area of general human rights, the constitution guaranteeing these rights as related to religious institutions and practices.
