The aim of the research is to establish the characteristics of English, German and Ukrainian texts which belong to the religious-popular discourse, to identify the speech tactics of the texts of religious-propaganda and of religious-informative character. The object of the study is the texts of religious-popular discourse in English, German and Ukrainian.
