Summary/Abstract: In addition to stressing the complexity and fluidity of the religious-religiose phenomenon, the article considers attempts to define it indirectly through various dimensions, i. e. searching for those specific features which distinguish it from other social phenomena. This step, in turn, is determined by the theoretical approach to that phenomenon. Therefore, the approach to the latter requires not only the analysis of its numerous dimensions, but also several different theoretical approaches. The multidimensional approaches to the phenomenon of religion and religiosity on the empirical level are mostly based on different variants or modifications of five main dimensions constituted by Charles Y. Glock and Rodney Stark.
