Abstract. The research objective involves a comparative analysis of two periods of evolutionism in religious studies - classical and modern. Special attention is paid to analysing modern evolutionary religious studies as an autonomous scientific trend, which constitutes scientific originality of the research. The following conclusions are justified: modern evolutionary religious studies have more extensive conceptual and methodological apparatus in comparison with classical studies and are characterized by interdisciplinarity, therefore, evolutionary approach to religious studies necessarily involves integration of natural science, data analytics and social sciences.
Key words and phrases: эволюционное религиоведение, классический эволюционизм, современный эволюционизм, методология религиоведения, evolutionary religious studies, classical evolutionism, modern evolutionism, methodology of religious studies
