“信仰自由”的界别与限定

Defining and Restricting of Freedom of Religion

由于"信仰自由"概念的泛化,常造成概念上的误用以及实际中的困扰,宗教信仰中的自由概念的泛化解读既容易造成对法律的挑战,也对宗教自身造成伤害。现代国家中,宗教与法律的关系呈现着法律从宗教中来,宗教到法律中去的基本态势。对宗教行为的自由应与对其他行为自由一样赋予法定的边界,防止自由之名的滥用以及宗教的污名化。

Due to the generalization of the concept of freedom of religion, it often causes the misusage of concept and practical problems. It would not only cause the challenge to law with the simple interpretation of freedom of religious belief with the generalization of concept, but cause damage to religion itself. In modem countries, it is the basic trend that law and religion influence each other when it comes to their relationship. The freedom of religious activity should be restricted to the legal boundary as other kinds of freedom, in case of the misapplication in the name of freedom and the stigma of religion.
