中國宗教政策回顧──從八十年代進入新世紀/駱瑞鳳

撮要

自1982年至2001年,中國各個不同宗教都有長足的發展。本文嘗試把這段期間經中共頒布的宗教政策或相關的重要講話文件,逐一分析比較,其中包括《十九號文件》、《六號文件》,以及於1993年和2001年江澤民關於宗教工作的講話。本文期待能藉此尋找這二十年來,中共宗教理論和政策上的改變。

此外,由於受唯物主義的影響,中共一直認為宗教在社會主義社會中將迅即消亡,故此制定宗教政策的目的,就是要規管還未消亡的暫存的宗教組織。然而,經過二十年的社會發展,宗教並未如預期般消亡,反而迅速增長,亦由此帶來中國政策的改變。

Furthermore, as directed by materialism, Chinese Communist Party held a conviction that all religions will soon die out under a socialist society. Therefore, the aim of her religion policy had been managing those dying religious organizations. Twenty years have passed and religions have not faded out as expected.
