Abstract
The paper discusses the role of the religious phenomenon throughout history and in modern times, its functions and treatment by various actors (society, political movements and researchers). Huntington's thesis on the necessity of the clash of civilizations in the 21st century, which represents a kind of ideological legitimation of actors of neoliberal globalism/ New World Order, for NEO-imperialist predatory interventionist politics, is especially critically problematized. Contrary to Huntington, the paper presents pleas for dialogue and convergence of actors of religious, ethnocultural and civilizational pluralism and building a partnership for peace, sustainable development in the world and global solidarity of humanity.
