Представленный ниже перечень положений дает возможность логически реализовать в казачьей среде важный принцип формирования казачьего сообщества: «казак без Веры – не казак», в основе которого лежат традиционные отечественные ценности. Принимая Присягу на Святом Евангелии, перед Святым Распятием Спасителя, казак не может не знать Веры своих предков, которая всегда составляла основу его личной жизни и его общественного служения. Являясь главой своего рода, казак обязан прививать православные традиции в своем семейном кругу – «малой церкви», тем самым приобщая молодое поколение к традиционной отечественной культуре, чтобы впоследствии он мог с честью произнести девиз благочестивого российского казачества: «Слава Богу, что мы казаки!»
