Abstract
The author of the article makes an attempt to show the way Rousseau understands religion, and why he understands it in that particular way. Rousseau distinguishes three types of religion: natural, national and strange. Natural religion springs from the autonomous consciousness and reason of person. National religion is based on communal ties and rites. Strange religions are those which try to destroy the integrity of society as well as of the person. Catholicism belongs to the latter type of religion. Rousseau confesses natural religion, which he calls Christian. He accepts the Gospels and the divinity of Christ but maintains that faith in Christ is not necessary for man's salvation. Rousseau regards Jesus as an example to follow, but not as the mediator between man and Cod. Human consciousness is sufficient for communication with God. Priests are not necessary. Is Rousseau a Christian? If he is, his Christianity is very peculiar.
