Abstract

The article is aimed at researching the problem of the religious consciousness of youth in the United States in the 1970s. On the basis of interdisciplinary approach, involving social data, the changes of religious attitudes of American youth in the 70s are analyzed. The comparative characteristic of development of the religious-philosophical thought of the "white" and the "black" youth in the 60s is given. It turned out to be the world outlook platform of the youth of the 70s. The author concludes that the social activism of youth in 1960s transformed into mysticism and keenness on Eastern cults which predominated the institutionalized religions among the young people in the 1970s.
