So far we have been discussing the concepts of meaning, different types of word meanings and the changes they undergo in the course of the historical development of the English language. When analyzing the word meaning we observe, however, that words as a rule are not units of a single meaning. The bulk of English words are polysemantic, that is to say possess more than one meaning.
The actuality of the course paper is defined by concrete results of the investigation. The actual meanings of religion words and their arrangement in the semantic structure of correlated words in different languages may be altogether different. The actual number of meanings of the commonly used words ranges from five to about a hundred. In fact, the commoner the word the more meanings it has.

-to study historical background of semantic structure of the English word;
-to analyze different points of view to the problem of semantic components and various classification of semantic structure;
-to analyze peculiar features of Religion words;
-to study synchronic and diachronic approaches of the word “God”;
-to analyze the word meaning;
