The article is devoted to the topical problem of retaining spiritual dominants in modern language education. A comparative analysis of the linguocultural concept as an immanent anthropological phenomenon and the religious concept, understood as a theoanthropological phenomenon, is proposed. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the expediency of expanding the understanding of the linguocultural concept by introducing a special religious and ideological perspective of its consideration. Within the framework of the theolinguistic technology, which is based on the level approach to the description of the semantic explication of a religious concept developed by V. I. Postovalova, the article presents issues for understanding and experiencing the transcendence of the concept "Humility" and examines the "humble man" and the attitude towards him in Orthodox self-awareness (the poem "Merciful People of the Earth" ("Pechal’niki zemli") by A. V. Kruglov). A variant of a holistic linguo-conceptual reading of the poem by O. A. Sedakova "Sergius of Radonezh" is given in conjunction with its religious and ideological perspective. The research methods were the analysis of scientific sources, the method of scientific generalization, and the methods of linguo-conceptual research. The conclusion is made: in the context of the devaluation of words (names of concepts) that are important for national identity and the increasing juxtaposition of "letters" and "digits", modeling key linguocultural concepts in conjunction with their additional religious and ideological perspective brings the linguistic personality closer to understanding the deep meanings of the spiritual dominants of Russian linguoculture, thereby ensuring preservation of national identity.
