Annotation

PHITES AND PSEUDORELIGIOUS EXTREMISM The author of the article writes about the peculiarities of the religious worldview of neophytes, emphasizing their infancy in matters of spiritual life and the enthusiastic perception of their experience of conversion to faith. In the absence of proper spiritual guidance, this condition can turn into pathological forms and lead the convert to the adoption of radical religious beliefs. These circumstances make this category of people the most susceptible to recruiting preachers of pseudo-religious extremism.

Keywords

Penitentiary system, pseudo-religious extremism, neophyte, spiritual delight.
