Abstract

The legislator in the Constitution of Ukraine states that the Church and religious organizations in Ukraine are separated from the state. In Ukraine the relations between the Church and the state begins with the procedure for registering Church units – e.g. parishes and dioceses – of which the visible structure of the Church organism actually forms. The state does not interfere with the activities of religious organizations, if they do not violate the current legislation, do not encroach on life, health, dignity of a person, as well as the rights of other citizens and organizations.
