The paper delivers an analysis of Ukrainians’ religious worldview, tracing its development and transformation under historical, social and political influences. The contribution of the main Christian denominations − Orthodoxy, Greek-Catholicism and Protestantism − to national identity-building, the shaping of moral values, social cohesion and civic engagement is outlined. The work highlights how religion is deeply entwined with Ukrainian traditions, spirituality, and political life, serving as both a moral compass and a catalyst for social change. It also points to the churches’ social ministry − humanitarian, educational and psychological support − during the full-scale war. The involvement of religious institutions as social and humanitarian actors illustrates religion’s vital role in national resilience and solidarity in wartime. Religion is presented as a stabilizing factor, a source of moral support and societal consolidation, as well as a tool for preserving cultural heritage. The paper offers valuable insights into the intersection of religion, identity, and social change, emphasizing the adaptive power and enduring significance of faith in Ukrainian life. It contributes to a broader understanding of how religion can underpin national identity, support humanitarian needs, and foster peace and tolerance in a multi-confessional society.
