Moral yield of different religions, embodied in their common axiological- civilizational code of ethical identical roots, therefore, carries a potential pledge of noble - cognitive communication and gender given close relationship, which, according to the dialectical principle of unity and struggle of differencies, in fact are necessary conditions of survival and progress of mankind.
