others without knowing and understanding their values and uniqueness. In this respect, it is 
possible to introduce and ensure religious tolerance in societies by knowing the rules and 
peculiarities of different religious and confessional groups, mutual understanding and mutual 
respect of their value system. Only in this situation, the principles of religious tolerance, social 
solidarity and mutual solidarity will be established in the society. Another important aspect of 
ensuring religious tolerance in the society is that representatives of all religious confessions 
should be aware of the legislation created in the country, understand their rights and interests, 
and fully understand the duties and obligations assigned to them. 
Conclusion 
Uzbekistan, as an equal subject of the international community, conducts its domestic and 
foreign policy in compliance with internationally recognized rules in all areas, and determines 
the path of its development, is reflected in the country's national legislation. There are certain 
conditions for achieving internal political stability in our country. One of those conditions is to 
ensure national security in all directions. One of the issues that threaten the security of the state 
and society today is the attempt to implement missionary and proselytizing ideas carried out by 
various religious sects in violation of the internal legislation of the country. Propagation of the 
ideas of missionary and proselytism changes the ideological thinking of the members of our 
society and causes alienation from our national characteristics. Taking into account that the 
majority of the country's population adheres to the rules of Islam, there is a possibility of an 
unstable situation in society as a result of the origin of mutual inconsistency between religious 
confessions and propaganda that is not allowed by law. Another controversial aspect of the issue 
is that the sects of the Christian religion, which are actively engaged in missionary work, use 
various illegal forms of attracting citizens. The controversial part of the matter is that, according 
to the universally recognized rules of international law, all religious denominations are equally 
responsible for ensuring religious tolerance, it is incomprehensible that many international 
organizations have not expressed a strong opinion on missionary and proselytizing activities. In 
our opinion, the missionary activity of sects belonging to the Catholic and Orthodox churches of 
Christianity or separated from them is incompatible with the principles of interreligious 
tolerance. 
The fact that missionary and proselytism is used not only for the purpose of promoting religion, 
but also for geopolitical purposes indicates that the issue is very serious. One of the main 
directions of ensuring security in the country is to fight against all forms of missionary activity 
not provided for in the legislation and achieving concrete practical results will allow to ensure 
national security to a certain extent. 
A democratic society cannot be built without the principles of religious tolerance. Actions to 
encourage someone to believe in a religion or to promote irreligion in general are contrary to 
international democratic standards and national characteristics. Therefore, as the main directions 
of ensuring interreligious tolerance in Uzbekistan, it remains one of the tasks that cannot be 
postponed, such as the development of the ideological consciousness and thinking of the 
members of the society, and the formation of the ability to protect against external influences.
