Великую силу Православия в полной мере осознавал первый устроитель Руси после татарского нашествия Св. Благоверный князь Александр Невский. Именно он обеспечил духовную связь казачества и русского государства. Поднепровский Переславль был почти стёрт с лица земли, и в 1261г. Александр Невский добился разрешения Хана Берке, чтобы резиденция Переславского епископа была перенесена в столицу Орды-Сарай, возникла Сарайско-Подонская епархия. Из самого названия видно, что значительная часть паствы жила на Дону, а подчинялась епархия митрополиту всея Руси, резиденция которого в 1299г. была перенесена из Киева во Владимир, а потом в Москву. Таким образом, через церковь установились связи казаков с новым центром русских земель.

"The Russian Cossacks and the Russian Orthodox Church: the experience of cooperation and prospects"
Report of the Director of the Department of International Relations Ministry of Regional Development of Russia AV At the XIX International Zhuravsky Christmas educational readings in the Donskoy Monastery
Значение православия для становления и жизни российского казачества трудно переоценить. Одним из основных факторов становление российского казачества, как социальной силы и служилого сословия, в XIV-XV веках была христианская вера. По сути можно говорить, что православная вера, казачья вольница и государево служение были (да и во многом остаются) основой самоидентификации российского казачества.

Orthodoxy and Cossack traditions
Orthodoxy has determined the Cossack way of life from the first day of earthly life, from baptism to burial service at his departure to another world, formed the world and the entire range of the annual rites.
Sacrament of Baptism Cossacks passed a great value, arguing that the baptism of infants up to no soul, and children who have died are not baptized, not on the Day of Judgment will come. Hence great respect for the godfather (godmother and godfather).
Before you take a child into the church (in baptism), he was placed in the red corner (the icons), and prayed: "identify him, Lord, talent and good fortune, good reason and for many years." At the christening, who is richer, the priest was called, when a baby's teething, the parents set him on his horse, drove to the church serve as a prayer warrior for John that he was a brave Cossack.

The Cossacks returned
В 2010 году в церковном календаре появился новый праздник: Святейший Патриарх Московский и всея Руси Кирилл объявил 1 сентября, день Донской иконы Божией Матери, днем православного казачества. Это решение было принято для того, чтобы сплотить казаков. Не секрет, что в российском обществе некоторые относятся к ним скептически — «ряженые», мол.

The Cossacks were for centuries regarded and regard themselves as defenders of the Faith of Christ. His life as they understand God's service weapon, military skill. From the first mention in the literature clearly associated with the Cossacks and Orthodox Christianity, one could argue that it is the spiritual foundation was born of the Cossacks.
For the Cossacks Orthodoxy is not just a religious doctrine, not just a set of dogmas and canons in the form of commandments. It is a holistic system of world view, which was formed throughout the history of the Cossacks. For centuries the Orthodox Church served and serves as the spiritual foundation of the Cossacks and the Cossacks, in turn, are the true defenders of their faith - faith of their ancestors.
