THREATS TO THE SECURITY AS THE RELIGIOUS CHALLENGE OF THE POLITICAL STABILITY IN LATIN AMERICA

Abstract

The article examines the problems of the component s of the concept of threats to religious security, for example, which are transformed into concepts. Religion as a relatively independent socio-cultural reality needs protection from internal and external threats. Religious security is a system of conditions that ensures the preservation of the traditional religious system within the established norm that has historically developed. The problem of religious security was identified when the cases of anti-state, anti-social activities of religious associations became more frequent.
The preference was given to the method of political-system analysis, by which the common and distinctive characteristics of the basic components of soft power strategies were identified, reflecting existing political, public, information and other challenges for international relations and global development. Research of the problem by scientists. Religion in Latin America is characterized by the historical predominance of Catholic Christianity (40% of the world’s Catholics in the region), the growing level of Protestant influence, the presence of world religious. 69% of the population of Latin America are Catholics, 17% Protestants. Pentecost, Anglicanism as movements involve the middle class. The threat to religious security is that Latin America, as one of the centers of Catholicism in the world, is facing a huge ideological choice. On the one hand, it may return to the bosom of the Roman Catholic Church.
