Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The topic of this study is “Religious­political extremism in assessing the mass consciousness of the youth of Almaty city”. The main objective of this work is to reveal the factors and conditions of the development and coping with religious and political extremism in the context of globalization, in particular in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The main directions and ideas of scientific research will be achieved by solving the following tasks: to provide accurate religious and political extremism; the protection of the factors and the social base of extremist behaviour with the account of ethnical and confessional measurements; and to suggest methods of the prophylaxis and resistance of religious­political and political extremism on the basis of a structural analysis.The object of the research was students of Almaty aged 18 years and older, having a temporary or permanent registration. The main results and conclusions of this study: the results of the survey show that the majority of the surveyed residents aged 18 years and older position themselves as believers. Nevertheless, the analysis shows that 25% of students admit that they are unbelievers atheists or agnostics. In the society of students, it is necessary to spread the idea that each person has the right to decide religious issues within the limits permitted by law, based on his constitutional rights. No one has the right to “shame” a person for his faith or disbelief, or the choice of a religious denomination. The value of the study lies in the fact that its results on the prevention and counteraction of religious­political extremism can be considered as the basis for further studying the place and role, condition and specificity of religious extremism, and its significance lies in deepening and expanding knowledge about countering religious extremism in the context of globalization. The practical significance of the study seems to be that, to prevent the political radicalization of religious­political extremism, consistent work is needed on the socio­political activity of believers. Key words: religion, extremism, mass media, religious­political extremism.
