Summary/Abstract: The interpretation of social ideal in the traditional Christian confessions and non-christian currents is considered in the article. It is noted, that the traditional Christian confessions preserve eschatological perspective in their interpretation of God’s Kingdom. They combine the traditional for Christianity ideals of moral self-perfection of personality, the main route to God with the ideas of man’s social activity. Chiliastic dispositions are characteristic of non-christian currents; they proclaim religiously utopian projects of the construction of absolute society, assert the possibility of the construction of God’s Kingdom.
