Abstract. The author deals with the religious and philosophical aspects of Byron’s world outlook. Opinions of some authoritative domestic and foreign researchers and also Byron’s propositions in the diaries, letters and works of literature allow revealing the antinomic nature inherent to his thinking and identifying ineradicable contradictions in relation to Calvinism and Catholicism which played an ambiguous role in the spiritual and creative development of the English poet-romanticist.
