与时俱进的马克思主义宗教观

宗教作为一种信仰,一种思想,一种文化,是人类社会存在、发展的产物,并不完全是消极的,也谈不上必然反动与愚昧,更不必然是社会主义社会的异己力量。尊重和保护宗教信仰自由,依法管理宗教事务,坚持独立自主自办,使宗教与社会主义社会相适应,既是社会主义社会对我国宗教的客观要求,也是我国各宗教自身存在和发展的客观要求。

Marxist Religious Outlook that Keeps Pace with the Times

Religion, as a belief, an ideology and a culture, is the product of the existence and development of human society. It's not negative totally, nor reactionary and benighted naturally and far from being the dissident of socialist society. It is the objective requirement of socialist society for our country's religions and the objective requirement of the existence and development of our country' religions themselves to respect and protect the freedom of people's religious belief, to manage religious affairs according to law, to stick to the principle of maintaining independence and keeping initiative in arranging religious affairs by ourselves, and to make religions fit in with the socialist society.
