The influence of religiosity on the integration/desintegration processes and the religious tolerance in Ohrid-Struga region

We are in a period which is characterized by huge social changes, economical, political and social, and they are followed by enormous changes to the value orientations, respectively to the whole system of values. The people can hardly adapt to these changes because they are very dynamic and intensive. Losing the self-confidence on the power to solve important tasks, people seek help in religion. The religion as a historical category extends its lifetime in the modern society. Through its teachings, religion establishes a mutual relationship with man, offering solutions to the many issues that human beings face in their everyday life. Also, there must be emphasized the activities of the confessional communities that use their organizational forms and insist on attracting attention, at the same time filling the blank spaces left by the other social institutions and organizations.
