Abstract
The issue of religiosity and resulting from it religious behavior manifested itself vividly in the post-Soviet period against the background of secularization of Russian society. There is no doubt that religion in society as a whole and in the personal life of an individual plays an essential role, which may be ambiguous in different historical periods. Therefore, the vector of development for religious revival will determine the positive/negative scenario and the climate in society. The marker for diagnosing the religious behavior of the Dagestan population is the content of the concept “true believer”, which defines normative religious practice. Verification of the empirical material shows the existence of certain differences in the attitudes of the interviewed men and women in the designation “a true believer”: the latter focus on the moral and moral attribute, the presence of certain moral properties that allow identifying a person as a “true believer”.
