description The paper shows that game religiousness as reaction to the currentsocial transformations leads not simply to adaptation of individuals to new conditions, but also producing original forms of sociality. The main result of this reaction is creation or reconstruction of the sense as conditions of non-disintegration of sociality, as means of prevention of its dispersion. The birth of social and religious projects of game religiousness is nothing but aspiration of individuals given a religious shape to find the strong ontologic bases of their own existence, clear coordinates of the behavior by designing of these bases. In modern conditions game religiousness gives opportunity of rather free combination of meanings and by that reveals its specific instrumental character, which allows it to act as means of social designing. At the same time, in practice of game religiousness the religious contents itself gains secondary character, and quasireligious communities become result of realization of projective activity. Manifestations of game religiousness carry out a role of constructive force, but at the same time act as means of revision and even destruction of many settled meanings and forms carried in traditional religions act. However, the latter as well contain elements of game religiousness, using them as means of social adaptation to new historical conditions and legitimation of some secular social practices.
