The continuous process of human society development has inevitably affected both law and religion. In addition, modern science requires the study of these important social sectors. In addition, within the framework of the implementation of such an important constitutional principle as a secular state, it is relevant to consider the relations that arise between law and religion, religious associations. Considering law as a regulator, it should be recognized that its mission in society is to consolidate regulatory initiatives that have a legal regulatory impact on public relations. Law as an element of the system of social regulatory regulation regulates public relations in interaction with other norms. One of these elements is religion in terms of its value‒normative features.

The article examines the historical, theoretical and legal aspects of law and religion, and scientifically analyzes aspects related to this category in a secular state. First of all, special attention is paid to the consideration of the mutual development and interrelationship of religion and law.

The authors draw conclusions by paying special attention to the definition of interaction and the social nature of legal and religious regulation of public relations. They also discuss the interaction of law and religion as regulators of public relationships with the application of current legislation.
