Abstract

The article considers defining the boundaries of the concept of “insulting religious feelings” from the point of view of a specialist in the field of religious studies, ordinary native speakers and a practicing forensic linguist. The material for the study is Internet comments to the news on topics related to religion that came to the attention of law enforcement agencies, analyzed in terms of compliance with the norms of legislation regulating the rights to freedom of conscience and religion, and the norms of administrative and criminal law aimed at protecting the feelings of believers. The paper uses the methods of formal legal analysis, description, experiment, semantic research, sociological survey data. The analysis revealed the causes of emerging social conflicts: low legal and communicative literacy of Internet users, broad interpretation of the concept of insult in the public and individual minds compared to the legal system, and the subjective perception of language units as emotionally evaluative or, on the contrary, neutral.
