Religion as a Tool of Socio-Political Modernization in the Literary Works of A.P. Kazantsev

The fundamental contradiction between fantasy literature and religion is that the religious paradigm is based on faith, while the fantastic paradigm is based on fiction. For this reason, the theme of religion has been practically absent in the works of science fiction for a long time. Science fiction was more focused on the achievements of scientific and technological progress than on issues of religious consciousness. A. P. Kazantsev is one of the most prominent representatives of the literary and philosophical field of “scientific and technical romanticism”. The ideological paradigm of A. P. Kazantsev is based on the three foundations: humanism, technocracy and communism. Having studied technocracy as the most promising way of development for mankind, the author came to the conclusion that technocracy without humanity has no value. According to A. P. Kazantsev, natural values — kindness, humanism, love — are the very essence of human nature and therefore a socio-political system should be built on these bases. Religion is planted “from above” and without proper nourishment is quickly forgotten by society. So, for many centuries, religion, up to a certain point, played a big role in the political life of individual societies. Religion performed the most important social functions: the consolidation of society, the maintenance of social stability, the formation of group identity, which, with the advent of Modern times, largely, step by step, began to be fulfilled by political ideology
