The article deals with the analysis of E. Fromm studies concerning the phenomena of religion and religiosity. The scientific topicality of this study consists in the intention to explicate the methodological potencies of Fromm’s conception for synergy of humanistic moral values of different religious traditions, and also religion and philosophy convergence as one of the factors for contemporary spiritual crisis prevention. Fromm’s ideas about the anthropological difference between humanistic and authoritarian forms of religiosity are considered as a productive heuristic and methodological platform for the new typology of religious ethical doctrines. The study is realized on the disciplinary crossing of ethics, religious axiology and philosophy of religion.
