Summary of the Annual Development Planning Meeting of the CASS Research Center for Science and Atheism and *Science and Atheism*

On February 4, 2023, the annual development planning meeting of the CASS Research Center for Science and Atheism and *Science and Atheism* was convened at the Academy of Marxism. The meeting was chaired by Researcher Gong Yun, Deputy Director of the CASS Academy of Marxism, Director of the CASS Research Center for Science and Atheism, Vice President of the Chinese Atheism Society, and Editor-in-Chief of *Science and Atheism*. Nearly 30 experts and scholars from the CASS Party Committee, the CASS Institute of Contemporary China Studies, the CASS Institute of World Religions, the CASS Academy of Marxism, the China Research Institute for Science Popularization, Shanghai Normal University, the Central Institute of Socialism, the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, Tsinghua University, Renmin University of China, and People's Public Security University of China attended the meeting.

2023年2月4日，中国社会科学院科学与无神论研究中心和《科学与无神论》年度发展规划会议在马研院召开。中国社会科学院马研院副院长，中国社会科学院科学与无神论研究中心主任，中国无神论学会副理事长，《科学与无神论》主编龚云研究员主持会议。来自中国社会科学院机关党委、中国社科院当代中国研究所、中国社科院世界宗教研究所、中国社科院马研院、中国科普研究所、上海师范大学、中央社会主义学院、中央统战部、清华大学、中国人民大学、中国人民公安大学的近30名专家学者参加了会议。

Gong Yun stated that in recent years, with the strong support of all the teachers, the academic quality of *Science and Atheism* has been considerably enhanced, and various indicators have shown marked improvement. After the change of leadership, the work of the Research Center for Science and Atheism has made significant progress. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss two agenda items: first, the center's main work for this year, and second, the journal's development. To strengthen the disciplinary construction of scientific atheism, it is necessary to leverage the role of these two important platforms.

龚云表示，近年来在各位老师的大力支持下，《科学与无神论》的学术含量获得了较大的提高，各项指标有了明显进步。科学与无神论研究中心经过换届后，工作有了较大的起色。这次会议的目的是讨论两个议题，一是中心今年的主要工作，二是刊物的建设问题。为加强科学无神论学科建设，需要发挥这两个重要平台的作用。

Researcher Huang Yanhong, Secretary-General of the Research Center for Science and Atheism and Director of the Editorial Department of *Science and Atheism*, introduced the work carried out by the Research Center for Science and Atheism in 2022 and the development of the journal *Science and Atheism*. First, she outlined the center's main work in 2022, covering five aspects. First, the publication and promotion of *Principles of Scientific Atheism* sparked a wave of publicity and popularization of monographs in the atheism discipline. Second, the compilation of a reader for propaganda and education on atheism in rural areas. This was a key task for 2022, and a first draft has been completed. Third, upon invitation, atheism courses were taught to united front cadres at relevant Party schools. Fourth, assistance was provided to the School of Marxism at a university in Northwest China to establish a course on Marxist atheism. Fifth, the Tenth CASS Scientific Atheism Forum and the 2022 Academic Annual Conference of the Chinese Atheism Society were successfully held. Subsequently, she introduced the current development of the journal *Science and Atheism*. Regarding the journal's column design, besides special contributions, the main columns include Marxist Atheism, Marxist Religious Studies, Foreign Atheism, History of Chinese Atheism, Religious Governance, and Research on Cults. Among these, Marxist Atheism is a regular column in every issue. According to the data, a total of 62 academic papers were published throughout the year, with an average of over 200 downloads per paper; 2 papers were fully reprinted by the Renmin University of China photocopying materials, and 25 were indexed. This is roughly on par with the previous two years: in 2021, 2 papers were fully reprinted and 52 indexed; in 2020, 60 were indexed. According to the first update of the impact factor in the CSSCI database in December 2022, the composite impact factor of *Science and Atheism* for 2022 was 0.521, and the comprehensive impact factor was 0.244, a relatively outstanding performance among journals in the field of religious studies. To provide a more adequate platform for academic achievements, the page count was also increased in 2022, with each issue expanded to over 80 pages. In 2023, it is planned to increase the page count to over 100 pages per issue. To offer a better reading experience, it is also planned to adjust the number of characters and lines per page in 2023.

科学与无神论研究中心秘书长、《科学与无神论》编辑部主任黄艳红研究员介绍了2022年科学与无神论研究中心开展工作和《科学与无神论》期刊发展情况。首先梳理了中心2022年的主要工作，包括五个方面。一是《科学无神论原理》的出版和宣传，掀起了无神论学科专著宣传和普及的热潮。二是农村无神论宣传教育读本的编写。这是2022年的一项重点工作，已经完成初稿。三是应邀去有关党校为统战干部讲授无神论课程。四是帮助西北一所大学马克思主义学院开设了马克思主义无神论课程。五是成功举办了中国社科院第十届科学无神论坛暨中国无神论学会2022年学术年会。随后她介绍了《科学与无神论》刊物目前的发展情况。刊物的栏目设计方面，除了特稿以外，主要包括马克思主义无神论、马克思主义宗教学、国外无神论、中国无神论史、宗教治理、邪教研究。其中马克思主义无神论是每期常设栏目。从数据来看，全年共刊发了62篇学术论文，篇均下载数为200余次；人大复印资料全文转载2篇，索引25篇。与前两年相比基本持平：2021年全文转载2篇，索引52篇，2020年索引60篇。从C刊数据库2022年12月首次更新影响因子的情况来看，《科学与无神论》2022年复合影响因子为0.521，综合影响因子为0.244，在宗教学类期刊中表现较为突出。为了学术成果有更充分的展示平台，2022年还增加了页码，每期页码增加至80页以上。2023年拟增加页码至每期100页以上。为提供更好的阅读体验，2023年还拟调整版面字数和行数。

Subsequently, the experts and scholars spoke one after another, offering suggestions for the development of the center and the journal.

随后，专家学者一一发言，为中心和期刊的发展提出建议。

I. Regarding the Work Priorities of the Research Center for Science and Atheism

一、关于科学与无神论研究中心的工作重点

Understanding of the current situation facing atheism research and propaganda-education work. Researcher Zhu Xiaoming, Honorary President of the Chinese Atheism Society and former Party Secretary of the China Tibetology Research Center, made two points. First, atheism is the foundation of the Party's guiding ideology and an important component of the scientific worldview. It should be placed in such a position, not as something optional. We should properly handle the relationship between freedom of religious belief and ideological struggle. Zhu Xiaoming believes that freedom of religious belief and ideological struggle include two aspects: one aspect is the struggle and contest between atheism and theism; the other aspect is the struggle within religious circles between progressive, patriotic thought and extremist, conservative, even separatist thought. From the perspective of theism versus atheism, the United Front Work Department handles religious work, so it is not appropriate to make atheism a major part of its work. Therefore, it should be the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Education, and the Central Organization Department that take charge of this matter, in order to open up a new situation. The second type of ideological struggle, that is, the struggle within religious circles between progressive and erroneous thought, should be handled by the United Front Work Department. Second, we must identify the position, tasks, focal points, and points of force application for Marxist atheism from the overall situation of the Party and the state in the New Era and the tasks facing the ideological sphere. Due to the impact of the epidemic and economic fluctuations, there has been a "rebound" or "resurgence" of the "religious fever." To this end, atheism research must be further strengthened, targeted research enhanced, and the disciplinary construction of Marxist religious studies reinforced.

对当前无神论研究和宣传教育工作面临形势的认识。中国无神论学会荣誉理事长、中国藏学研究中心原党组书记朱晓明研究员谈了两点。一是，无神论是党的指导思想的基础，是科学世界观的重要组成部分。应该把它放到这样的一个位置上，而不是一个可有可无的事情。我们应处理好宗教信仰自由和意识形态斗争的关系。朱晓明认为宗教信仰自由和意识形态斗争包括两个方面的内容，一个方面内容是无神论和有神论的斗争较量，另一个方面是宗教界内部爱国进步思想和极端保守的甚至分裂主义思想的较量。从有神和无神角度来看，统战部是做宗教工作的，不适合把无神论作为统战部工作的重要内容，所以应该由中宣部、教育部、中组部来抓这件事情，才能够打开新的局面。第二种类型的意识形态较量，即宗教界内部的进步和错误的思想的较量，应该由统战部来抓。二是，要从新时代党和国家的大局和意识形态领域面临的任务中间，来找准马克思主义无神论的位置、任务和着力点、发力点。由于疫情影响和经济波动，出现了“宗教热”的“反弹”或“回潮”，为此要进一步加强无神论研究，加强针对性研究，加强马克思主义宗教学学科建设。

Professor Li Shen, a member of the Academic Steering Committee of the CASS Research Center for Science and Atheism from Shanghai Normal University, suggested that in 2023, the center should promote communication with relevant departments. He proposed that the overarching goal for the atheism cause this year remains to hold the line.

中国社会科学院科学与无神论研究中心学术指导委员会委员，上海师范大学李申教授建议，2023年应当推动研究中心与有关部门的沟通。他提出，今年无神论事业的大目标还是坚守阵地。

Disciplinary construction is a work priority. Zhu Xiaoming put forward four suggestions. First, it is recommended to compile an introduction to Marxist atheism. This work has been discussed many times, with an outline framework and research foundation already in place. It is suggested to achieve a breakthrough based on the years of research and accumulation by the society. Second, it is recommended to organize research on and compile a dictionary of atheism. Third, it is recommended to hold an academic seminar on Professor Li Shen's *Lectures on Marxist Religious Studies*. Fourth, it is recommended to hold more academic lectures.

学科建设是工作重点。朱晓明提出了四点建议。第一，建议编写马克思主义无神论概论，这项工作已经讨论过多次，有提纲框架，也有研究基础，建议在学会多年研究的基础和积累上有所突破。第二，建议组织研究和编写无神论词典。第三，建议就李申老师的《马克思主义宗教学讲义》开一次学术研讨会。第四，建议多举办学术讲座。

Li Shen believes that it should be clearly explained that Marxist religious studies and Marxist atheism are unified; Marxist religious studies is essentially Marxist atheism. As things stand, it is insufficient to rely solely on religious research institutions to raise the banner of Marxist religious studies. Marxist atheism research should confidently and righteously take up the flag of disciplinary construction in Marxist religious studies. He suggested, first, that the Chinese Atheism Society take the lead in establishing a Marxist Religious Studies Research Association under the society, or establish a secondary-level society such as a Marxist Religious Studies Research Branch; second, to publish a series of Marxist religious studies books; third, to organize more small-scale seminars to respond to hot social issues.

李申认为，应当讲清楚马克思主义宗教学与马克思主义无神论两者是统一的，马克思主义宗教学本质上就是马克思主义无神论。现在来看，仅靠宗教研究机构去高举马克思主义宗教学旗帜是不够的。马克思主义无神论研究要理直气壮地扛起马克思主义宗教学学科建设的旗子。他建议，一是由中国无神论学会牵头，在学会下面成立马克思主义宗教学研究会，或者成立二级学会如马克思主义宗教学研究分会；二是出版一套马克思主义宗教学丛书；三是建议多组织小型研讨会，以回应社会热点问题。

Researcher Zhang Xinying, former Deputy Director of the CASS Institute of World Religions and President of the *Science and Atheism* magazine, believes that 2023 is the "change-of-leadership year" for the Chinese Atheism Society. He suggested that the center make good preparations for the society's change of leadership. He also suggested that the center organize more thematic symposiums this year, and through discussions, propose suitable topic directions. Furthermore, he suggested that the center and the journal pay more attention to religious research this year and strengthen ties with the natural science community and the media.

中国社科院世界宗教研究所原副所长、《科学与无神论》杂志社社长张新鹰研究员认为，2023年正是中国无神论学会“换届年”，建议中心做好学会换届的筹备工作。建议中心今年多组织一些专题座谈会，通过研讨提出合适的选题方向。此外，建议中心和期刊今年多多关注宗教研究，加强与自然科学界和媒体的联系。

Researcher Zheng Nian, Deputy Director of the China Research Institute for Science Popularization, believes that the fine tradition of the "two-science alliance" between the Chinese Atheism Society (and the Research Center for Science and Atheism) and the China Research Institute for Science Popularization should be further strengthened, as should the "iron triangle" relationship among the Chinese Atheism Society (and the center), the China Research Institute for Science Popularization, and the China Anti-Cult Association. He believes that the missions and tasks undertaken by these three parties are very close. He suggested that the next step could be to mobilize the Marxist theoretical research community to open up directions in Marxist religious studies and Marxist atheism. At the same time, close attention must be paid to research on practical issues. For example, since the COVID-19 pandemic, "voices" concerning the number of religious believers have increased, and research reflecting the increase in the number of religious believers in rural areas has also increased. He believes that both science popularization research and atheism research should make their own voices heard.

中国科普研究所副所长郑念研究员认为，应当进一步加强中国无神论学会（和科学与无神论研究中心）与中国科普研究所的“两科联盟”的好传统，加强中国无神论学会（和中心）、中国科普研究所与中国反邪教协会的“铁三角”关系。他认为，这三方所担负的使命和任务非常接近。他建议，下一步可以调动马克思主义理论研究界开辟马克思主义宗教学和马克思主义无神论方向。同时也要密切关注现实问题研究。如，新冠疫情以来，关于信教人数的“声音”增多了，反映农村信教人数增多的研究也多了。他认为，科普研究和无神论研究都应当发出自己的声音。

Jia Runguo, Vice President of the Chinese Atheism Society and Deputy Director of the Religious Research Center of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, suggested that the disciplinary construction of scientific atheism could focus more effort on the Marxist studies systems in universities nationwide. Marxist atheism is the "hard-core" discipline of Marxist religious studies; without atheism, there is no religious studies. The theory of religious studies is atheism. We must raise high the banner of Marxist religious studies, reverse the research direction of religious studies that has prevailed for a period, and promote the think-tank-oriented development of religious studies research.

中国无神论学会副理事长、中央统战部宗教研究中心副主任加润国研究员建议，科学无神论学科建设可以在全国高校的马克思主义学院系统多下功夫。马克思主义无神论是马克思主义宗教学的“硬核”学科，没有无神论就没有宗教学。宗教学的理论就是无神论，我们要高举马克思主义宗教学的旗帜，扭转一段时间以来宗教学的研究方向，推进宗教学研究智库化发展。

Zuo Peng, Vice President of the Chinese Atheism Society and Director of the Department of Marxist Theory and Political Science Teaching at the Central Institute of Socialism, believes that textbooks are an extension of articles; research must be conducted first to accumulate sufficient material to compile textbooks or outlines. He also pointed out that conferences currently organized by the center, such as the Scientific Atheism Forum, often suffer from limited meeting time and a large number of speakers, leaving many without an opportunity to speak. He suggested that the center organize an "Atheism Grand Lecture Hall" to provide more opportunities for learning, exchange, and speaking for personnel in the field of atheism research. Wang Chuanli, a professor at the School of Marxism at Tsinghua University, also suggested that the center could use university holiday periods to organize activities such as the Atheism Grand Lecture Hall or lectures, and carry out more down-to-earth and targeted atheism propaganda and education activities in universities.

中国无神论学会副理事长、中央社会主义学院马列教研部主任左鹏教授认为，教材为文章的拓展，需要先研究，才能有足够的积累编写教材或概论。他还指出，目前中心主办的会议如科学无神论论坛，常常因为会议时间少、发言人数多，很多人没有发言的机会。建议中心组织“无神论大讲堂”，给予无神论研究领域人员更多的学习、交流和发言机会。清华大学马克思主义学院王传利教授也建议，中心可以利用高校假期时间组织无神论大讲堂或讲座之类的活动，多在高校开展脚踏实地的、有针对性的无神论宣传教育活动。

Song Yuehong, a researcher and Deputy Director of the Institute of Contemporary China Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the history, civilization, and spirit of the Chinese nation can all be studied and observed using Marxist atheism. Scientific atheism focuses on the country and the nation, discusses society and people, and adheres to a people-centered approach. Marxist atheism is a worldview; we can use it to understand and grasp history, to study Chinese national studies (guoxue), and especially to study Chinese studies in the New Era. He believes that the integrated development of Marxist atheism in the New Era should reflect the times, and that academic research in philosophy and social sciences should also reflect the guiding role of Marxist atheism. Therefore, both the disciplinary construction of scientific atheism and the journal *Science and Atheism* can broaden their horizons to incorporate other related research.

中国社会科学院当代中国研究所副所长宋月红研究员认为，中华民族的历史、文明和精神，都可以运用马克思主义无神论来研究和观察。科学无神论关注的是国家、民族，讲社会，讲人，坚持以人民为中心。马克思主义无神论是世界观，我们可以运用它来认识和把握历史，用来研究国学，尤其是新时代中国学。他认为，新时代马克思主义无神论的融合发展要反映时代，而哲学社会科学学术研究也应当反映马克思主义无神论的指导地位。因此，科学无神论的学科建设和《科学与无神论》期刊都可以更加扩大视野，将其他相关研究都纳入。

Wang Zhen, a professor and Director of the Ethnic and Religious Teaching and Research Office of the United Front Theory Teaching and Research Department at the Central Institute of Socialism, believes that the most important task this year is still to hold the line. She suggested that the society or the center set up some research topics, collect a large amount of material, translate works, and build an "Atheism Library." She believes that research on atheism propaganda and education concerning ethnic regions and intellectuals should also be started as soon as possible. She also suggested holding more "Atheism Grand Lecture Halls" and recommended more cooperation with local authorities, especially organizing academic activities in places like Xinjiang and Tibet. Dai Jicheng, a professor at People's Public Security University of China, suggested that the center organize more experts and scholars in the field of atheism to give lectures at universities.

中央社会主义学院统战理论教研部民族宗教教研室主任王珍教授认为，今年最重要的任务还是坚守住阵地。她建议以学会或中心的名义设置一些课题，搜集大量资料，翻译著作，建设“无神论文库”。她认为，关于民族地区、知识分子的无神论宣传教育研究也应当尽快做起来。她也建议多举办“无神论大讲堂”，建议多与地方合作，尤其是多去新疆、西藏等地举办学术活动。中国人民公安大学戴继诚教授建议中心多组织无神论领域的专家学者去高校讲课。

II. Regarding the Development Direction of the Journal *Science and Atheism*

二、关于《科学与无神论》期刊的发展方向

First, regarding the issue of column setup. Zhang Xinying believes that, with the support of the Party Committee of the Academy of Marxism, the discipline of scientific atheism has achieved very significant results, and the journal *Science and Atheism* has made particularly great progress. However, it should be recognized that scientific atheism remains a marginal discipline, and the journal *Science and Atheism* still has problems with its source of manuscripts. He suggested adding columns on the spirit of science and scientific methods, and publishing more articles focusing on hot topics. For example, articles studying the currently popular science fiction series *The Three-Body Problem*. Li Shen believes that the journal's "Marxist Religious Studies" column should not only continue but also be run well to build its influence.

一是关于栏目设置问题。张新鹰认为，科学无神论学科在马研院党委的支持下，取得了非常大的成绩，特别是《科学与无神论》刊物取得的进步特别大。但应当警醒的是，科学无神论依然是边缘学科，《科学与无神论》稿源依然存在问题。他建议在专栏设置上，增加科学精神、科学方法的栏目，多刊发一些关注热点问题的文章。比如，对时下流行的科幻片《三体》进行研究的文章。李申认为期刊的“马克思主义宗教学”栏目不但要继续办，还要办好，办出影响力。

Jia Runguo believes that the current problem in the development of the atheism discipline mainly lies in insufficient human, financial, and energy resources. Apart from the CASS system, there are no other professional research teams nationwide. He believes that the journal is a platform and a position, and its construction should be further strengthened. He suggested that the journal's "Religious Studies" column pay attention to "Theological Studies," "Humanities Studies," and "Scientific Studies." Wang Zhen believes that the current period is the best time for the development of the journal *Science and Atheism* since its inception. She suggested that the journal pay attention to the ideas of well-known Western atheist scholars, and that the "Sunshine Book Series" column add excerpts of viewpoints. He Xinyuan, a researcher and Deputy Director of the Department for the Study of Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context at the Academy of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, suggested increasing attention to translated introductions of foreign atheism and survey-type articles.

加润国认为，当前无神论学科发展的问题，主要在于在人力、财力和精力不够用。除社科院系统外，全国再无其他专业研究队伍。他认为，期刊是平台和阵地，应进一步加强期刊建设。他建议期刊的“宗教研究”栏目关注“神学研究”“人文研究”“科学研究”。王珍认为，当前是《科学与无神论》期刊有史以来发展最好的时期。建议期刊关注一下西方知名无神论学者的思想，“阳光书系”栏目增加观点摘录。中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院马克思主义中国化研究部副主任贺新元研究员建议增加国外无神论译介和调研类文章的关注度。

Wang Tingyou, a professor at the School of Marxism at Renmin University of China, suggested that in terms of topic selection, the journal should pay more attention to surveys on religious belief among university students, the relevance of atheism to ideological and political education courses, and the issue of religious infiltration to broaden its perspective. He believes that religious infiltration is an important topic and suggested planning topics in connection with the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Western religious infiltration, and the relationship between religion and politics. Wang Chuanli suggested that the journal should set topics in a planned manner, identify research hotspots, set them in advance, clarify the direction of topic selection, especially topics with a strong sense of reality, in order to address current social concerns.

中国人民大学马克思主义学院汪亭友教授建议期刊选题方面，多关注大学生信教情况调研，无神论与思政学科的关联性，宗教渗透问题以拓展视野。他认为，宗教渗透是重要选题，建议联系苏东剧变、西方宗教渗透、宗教与政治等话题进行选题策划。王传利建议期刊要有计划地设置议题。寻找研究热点，提前设置，明确选题方向，尤其是现实感强的选题，用以回答当下社会关切。

Second, regarding journal evaluation. Zuo Peng believes that the most urgent task for the journal's current development is to promote its inclusion in the "C Journal" [CSSCI], "A Journal" [AMI], and Peking University core journal directories. To this end, we should further study hot issues. For some realistic issues worthy of attention, the journal should achieve "early attention" and "early publication." For example, the issue of religion in rural areas, the issue of university students believing in religion, the disciplinary construction of Marxist religious studies, and the current hot topic of *The Three-Body Problem*.

二是关于期刊评价方面。左鹏认为，当前期刊发展最为急迫的任务是推动进入“C刊”“A刊”和北大核心目录。为此，我们进一步研究热点问题。对一些值得热点的现实问题，期刊应当做到“先关注”“先发”。比如，农村宗教问题，大学生信教问题，马克思主义宗教学学科建设问题以及当前热点“三体”等。

He Xinyuan believes that the journal *Science and Atheism* is currently the most important platform for atheism research. We must "push the journal out" to make it an important platform for atheism research, propaganda, and academic exchange. To this end, it is most important to further promote the journal's inclusion in AMI, CSSCI, and the Peking University core journal directory. Zheng Nian believes that efforts should be made to get the journal into "core journals" and to expand its influence by increasing circulation. Popular science work and scientific atheism propaganda and education work are two sides of the same coin. To further consolidate the good tradition of the "alliance of the two sciences" [popular science and scientific atheism], cooperation between the journals *Studies on Science Popularization* and *Science and Atheism* can be strengthened.

贺新元认为，当前《科学与无神论》期刊是无神论研究最重要的平台，我们要将期刊“打出去”，使其成为无神论研究和宣传、学术交流的重要平台。为此，要进一步推动刊物进入AMI、CSSCI和北大核心，这是最为重要的任务。郑念认为应推动刊物进入“核心期刊”，通过增加发行量来扩大刊物的影响力。科普工作和科学无神论宣传教育工作是两两合一的工作，为进一步巩固“两科联盟”的好传统，可以加强《科普研究》与《科学与无神论》两个刊物的合作。

Third, regarding expanding influence. Liu Zhiming, a researcher, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the CASS Administrative Organs, and Director of the Department for the Study of Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context at the Academy of Marxism, suggested increasing the publicity of the society and the center. In 2023, academic exchange on scientific atheism should be further promoted to make the center and the society "active." The center should have large-scale publicity activities, especially at some important and critical junctures, making plans in advance. In addition, the center can coordinate and plan the establishment of a website, etc., to promote digital construction. Wang Tingyou suggested that the center and the journal could hold more conferences to effectively expand their influence. He believes that the editorial department can expand its influence by co-organizing conferences and inviting more young scholars to participate. Jia Runguo suggested that the journal increase its circulation within the Marxist theory research system.

三是扩大影响力方面。中国社会科学院机关党委副书记、马克思主义研究院马克思主义中国化研究部主任刘志明研究员建议加大对学会和中心的宣传力度。2023年应当进一步推动科学无神论的学术交流，让中心和学会“活跃”起来。中心应当要有大型的宣传活动，尤其是在一些重要关键的节点上，提前做好计划。此外，中心还可以统筹和规划建立网站等，推动数字化建设。汪亭友建议中心和期刊可以多举办会议，有效地扩大中心和期刊的影响。他认为编辑部可以通过联合办会，多邀请青年学者参会，从而扩大影响力。加润国建议期刊加大在马克思主义理论研究系统的发行量。
