- Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of methods of forming the students' rational scientific approach to religious phenomena. Religious component is present at all levels of the Russian educational system. The religious component is included in the educational programs of secondary and higher education of different directions and levels of training in the form of an individual discipline, a structural component in social and humanitarian courses, or as an independent area of training. Religious training of students is part of the process of formation of professional competences of a university graduate. The result of religious studies is the student's ability and willingness to use the acquired knowledge, skills, and personal characteristics in professional activities, in the communication on religious issues and in the analysis of events and processes occurring in the religious sphere. Graduates with intercultural competences will be less likely to use discriminatory and exclusionary practices in their professional activities. In a global sense, the development of intercultural competences in students will contribute to the transformation of social institutions, whose activities will also be subject to the principles of inclusion, recognition of the diversity of traditions, and respect for human dignity.
