Nikolai Raynov and the Church

Abstract

The article explores Nikolai Raynov’s departure from the Church, examining the reasons and consequences of his decision. It addresses the harmful influence of occultism, freemasonry, and Danovism on Raynov, as well as his excommunication from the Church. The study raises questions related to the psychology of religion and draws parallels with the spiritual problems of modern individuals. It argues that creativity and charisma are closely linked to human faith. The article emphasizes that human creativity cannot achieve its greatest heights or reach its full potential unless art promotes Christian truth, goodness, and love.
