宗教道德的社会功能二重性分析

The Analysis of Duality of Religious Morality's Social Function

宗教道德是宗教思想的重要组成部分,蕴含于宗教教义、教规、仪式、制度等等之中,与宗教发展共生共存。宗教道德为宗教信众信仰和遵循,成为宗教信众的价值观与行为准则,对人类的宗教生活和社会生活产生重要影响与功能作用。本文通过对宗教道德仪规及宗教道德思想的陈述,指出宗教道德社会功能具有二重性,对信众和社会既具有积极性的社会功能,也存在消极性的社会功能,并由此提出中国特色社会主义现代化建设时期必须正确对待宗教道德,去其糟粕,取其精华,正确利用宗教道德为社会主义道德建设服务。

Religious morality is an important part of religious theory, implied in the religious doctrine, religious canon, ceremonies, institutions, etc. coexisting with religious development. Being the values and directions of religious believers, Religious moralities are believed and obeyed by followers, which has a major impact on humans＇ religious and social life. This thesis is based on the statement of religious rituals and religious ethics and theories, and it points out that the social function of religion has the duality of both positive and negative social function on believers and society. Therefore I put forward that we should treat religious morality correctly during the new period of modernization of Chinese characteristic socialism, in a word, take the essence and discard the dregs and use religious morality to serve the socialist moral construction.
