为学习贯彻习近平总书记在文化传承发展座谈会上的重要讲话精神和习近平总书记关于党的宗教工作的重要论述精神,进一步推动科学无神论研究和学科建设,第十一届中国社会科学院科学无神论论坛于9月16日在武汉召开。本届论坛由中国社会科学院马克思主义理论学科建设与理论研究工程领导小组、中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院、华中科技大学主办,中国社会科学院科学与无神论研究中心、中国无神论学会、华中科技大学马克思主义学院共同承办。论坛的主题为:“科学无神论与中华民族现代文明”。华中科技大学副校长许晓东教授、中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院副院长林建华教授致辞,华中科技大学人文社会科学处处长李志强主持开幕式,中国无神论学会副理事长、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作大会总结。
Professor Xu Xiaodong, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Huazhong University of Science and Technology Committee and Vice President of the university, pointed out in his address that scientific atheism and fine traditional Chinese culture possess an inherent compatibility. Strengthening atheist education and propaganda among the masses and properly conducting the Party’s religious work in the New Era have become important components of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. This forum on “Scientific Atheism and the Modern Civilization of the Chinese Nation” is not only an important measure to implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speeches and his important discourse on religious work but also a vital opportunity for mutual exchange and learning. The university will take this forum as a new starting point, gathering forces from society and academia to study and explore the new opportunities and challenges facing the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the context of comprehensively advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization, striving to achieve a series of forward-looking and innovative results in related research fields.
华中科技大学党委常委、副校长许晓东教授在致辞中指出,科学无神论与中华优秀传统文化具有内在融通性。加强对人民群众的无神论宣传教育,做好新时代党的宗教工作,成为中华民族现代文明建设的重要组成部分。本届“科学无神论与中华民族现代文明”论坛,既是贯彻习近平总书记重要讲话精神以及关于宗教工作的重要论述的重要举措,也是互相交流学习的重要机会。学校将以此次论坛为新起点,汇聚社会与学界的多方力量,研究探讨以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴背景下,中华民族现代文明建设面临的新机遇和新挑战,力争在相关研究领域取得一系列前瞻性、创新性成果。

Professor Lin Jianhua, Vice President of the CASS Academy of Marxism, emphasized three aspects in his address. First, further elevate the political stance, strengthen political awareness, and take Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guide, especially by earnestly studying General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important discourse on religious work. Second, deeply excavate the excellent parts and excellent components of Chinese culture, and carefully protect the atheist genes of fine traditional Chinese culture. Third, strive to build a disciplinary platform for scientific atheism, advance research on scientific atheism, and cultivate a team of scientific atheism researchers. He also pointed out that the discipline of scientific atheism holds special importance within the Marxist theory disciplines. Relying solely on the efforts of the CASS Academy of Marxism cannot promote the flourishing development of the entire discipline; it also requires strong support from philosophy and social science workers nationwide. Especially against the backdrop of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, how to promote the combination of the vibrant atheist factors in fine traditional Chinese culture with the basic principles of Marxist atheism, how to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional Chinese atheist thought, and how to better leverage the role of scientific atheism in the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation have become new topics for Marxist atheist research.
中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院副院长林建华教授在致辞中强调了三个方面。一是进一步推高政治站位,强化政治意识,以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,特别是要认真学习习近平总书记关于宗教工作的重要论述。二是深度挖掘中华文化中的优秀部分、优秀成分,呵护好中华优秀传统文化的无神论基因。三是努力打造科学无神论学科平台、推进科学无神论研究、造就一支科学无神论研究队伍。他还指出,科学无神论学科在马克思主义理论学科中具有特殊重要性,仅靠中国社科院马研院一己之力无法推动整个学科的繁荣发展,还需要全国哲学社会科学工作者们的大力支持。尤其是在建设中华民族现代文明的大背景下,如何推动中华优秀传统文化中富有活力的无神论因子同马克思主义无神论基本原理相结合,如何推动中国传统无神论思想的创造性转化和创新性发展,如何在中华民族现代文明建设中更好发挥科学无神论的作用,成为马克思主义无神论研究的新课题。

After the opening ceremony, participating experts successively delivered speeches centered on the forum’s theme. Researcher Tian Xinming, Advisor to the Chinese Atheism Society and former Director of the Social Science Center of the Ministry of Education, elucidated two issues concerning Marxist atheism and the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. First, regarding what the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is, Tian Xinming argued that “the modern civilization of the Chinese nation” refers to the new form of human civilization created by the CPC, guided by Marxism, leading the Chinese people through over a hundred years of continuous struggle—that is, the civilization of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the garden of world civilizations, it is the civilization of the Chinese nation; in the historical development of human social formations, it is a socialist civilization; within the long-standing Chinese civilization, it is a modern civilization. It has brought Chinese civilization into the New Era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, making it a socialist civilization and making Chinese civilization modern; it has enabled scientific socialism to develop from a theoretical form into a form of civilization in China, making socialism appear as a new type of civilization in human history, and making Marxism and socialism Chinese. Second, concerning adhering to Marxist atheism, Tian Xinming argued that upholding Marxist atheism is an important task for consolidating the foundation and strengthening the roots of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
开幕式结束后,与会专家依次围绕论坛主题进行发言。中国无神论学会顾问、教育部社科中心原主任田心铭研究员阐发了马克思主义无神论与中华民族现代文明建设的两个问题。首先,针对什么是中华民族现代文明,田心铭认为“中华民族现代文明”指的是中国共产党以马克思主义为指导,领导中国人民在100多年的接续奋斗中创造的人类文明新形态,也就是中国特色社会主义文明。在世界文明百花园中,它是中华民族的文明;在人类社会形态的历史发展中,它是社会主义的文明;在历史悠久的中华文明中,它是现代的文明。它使中华文明进入了中国特色社会主义新时代,成为社会主义文明,使中华文明成为现代的;它使科学社会主义从理论形态在中国发展成为一种文明形态,使社会主义作为新型文明出现在人类文明史上,使马克思主义、社会主义成为中国的。其次,关于坚持马克思主义无神论,田心铭认为,坚持马克思主义无神论,是一项为建设中华民族现代文明培基固本的重要工作。

Researcher Zhang Xinying, former Deputy Director of the CASS Institute of World Religions and President of *Science and Atheism* magazine, shared some thoughts on recent work related to the religious sphere. He argued that the Sinicization of religion in the New Era of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a “Sinicization” oriented toward Chinese-path modernization, possessing political orientations, value guidance, and cultural standards incomparable to any previous era, while also facing unprecedented complex domestic and international social and political situations and ideological-cultural environments. All religions on Chinese soil, including indigenous Chinese religions and foreign religions that have written historical chapters of “localization” and “contextualization,” need to set comprehensive innovation goals for “Sinicization,” advance doctrinal interpretation and concrete practices that meet the requirements of Chinese-path modernization, and shape a truly “Chinese religion” from top to bottom, inside and out. Party committees at all levels must continuously strengthen support and guidance for the Sinicization of religion, and the “three teams” [1]1 The “three teams” for religious work refer to the Party and government leading cadres, the religious work cadres, and the religious personages, as emphasized in official discourse on religious affairs. for religious work bear an inescapable responsibility in deepening the theoretical exploration of the Sinicization of religion. It is necessary to coordinate research on issues such as the historical process, typical experiences, theoretical basis, objectives and tasks, and realization paths of the Sinicization of religion in China; the religious circles, in particular, must urgently seek the mutual connection and joint breakthrough of “Sinicization” theory and practice; relevant forces from all sides should also participate in supporting the process of Sinicization of religion in China in different ways, forming a social synergy to promote the steady development of the Sinicization of religion.
中国社科院世界宗教研究所原副所长、《科学与无神论》社长张新鹰研究员谈了关于近期涉宗教领域工作的一些想法。他认为,中国特色社会主义新时代的宗教中国化,是以中国式现代化为旨归的“中国化”,有着以往任何时代都不能比拟的政治取向、价值引领、文化标准,也面对前所未有的国际国内复杂社会政治局势和思想文化环境。中华大地上的各个宗教,包括中国原生宗教和曾经写下“本土化”“处境化”历史篇章的外来宗教,都需要全方位设定“中国化”的创新目标,推进适应中国式现代化要求的教义阐发和具体实践,从上到下、从里到外塑造出真正的“中国宗教”。各级党委要不断加强对于宗教中国化的支持引导,宗教工作的“三支队伍”更是在深化宗教中国化的理论探索上责无旁贷。要统筹开展对于我国宗教中国化的历史过程、典型经验、学理依据、目标任务、实现路径等问题的攻关研究;宗教界尤其要急切谋求“中国化”理论和实践的相互衔接、共同突破;有关各方面力量也应以不同方式参与到支持我国宗教中国化的进程中来,形成促进宗教中国化稳步发展的社会合力。

Professor Huang Pinghuai, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Jiangxi Open University, shared his thoughts under the title “Reflections and Suggestions on Cultivating Core Socialist Values with Fine Traditional Chinese Culture.” He stated that the exploration and practice of using fine traditional Chinese culture to cultivate core socialist values should focus on three aspects: first, work hard on strengthening support, achieving full coverage, and deepening integration; second, closely center on the people’s aspiration for a better life; third, comprehensively coordinate the natural, economic, and social composite ecosystem, further promoting the benign operation and coordinated development of the modern civilizational project.
江西开放大学党委副书记、校长黄平槐教授以《关于用中华优秀传统文化涵育社会主义核心价值观的思考与建议》为题进行分享。他表示,用中华优秀传统文化涵育社会主义核心价值观的探索和实践应从三方面着力,一是要在强支撑、全覆盖和深融合上下功夫,二是要紧紧围绕人民对美好生活的向往,三是要统筹把握自然经济社会复合生态系统,进一步促进现代文明工程的良性运行和协调发展。

Professor Zhao Zhongyuan, member of the Party Committee of Guangzhou University and Dean of the School of Marxism, studied the multiple connotations of “de-deification” in the spiritual construction of the CPC. He pointed out that “de-deification” mainly encompasses four levels of connotation: first, advocating the scientific spirit, simultaneously opposing feudal superstition and gradually eliminating the ideological and social foundations for the emergence and spread of religion, tempering the Party membership into firm atheists; second, advocating the revolutionary spirit, simultaneously opposing the deification of feudal ethics and promoting fine traditional culture; third, advocating the spirit of self-reliance and self-strengthening, simultaneously opposing the deification and one-sided veneration of Western culture and rationally drawing on its reasonable elements; fourth, advocating the spirit of seeking truth from facts, simultaneously opposing the mechanical and dogmatic treatment of the theories of classical Marxist writers, opposing the deification and wholesale copying of the Soviet model and experience, and vigorously advancing the adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese context.
广州大学党委委员、马克思主义学院院长赵中源教授研究了中国共产党精神建构中的“去神化”多重内涵。他指出,“去神化”主要包含了四个层面的内涵:一是倡导科学精神,坚持反对封建迷信与逐渐消除宗教产生和传播的思想基础和社会基础并举,将党员队伍锤炼成坚定的无神论者;二是倡导革命精神,坚持反对神化封建伦理与弘扬优秀传统文化并举;三是倡导自立自强精神,坚持反对神化和一味推崇西洋文化与理性借鉴其合理成分并举;四是倡导实事求是精神,坚持反对机械和教条地对待经典马克思主义作家理论,反对神化和照搬苏联模式与经验,大力推进马克思主义中国化并举。

Researcher Liu Zhiming, Director of the Department of Research on the Adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese Context, Institute of Marxism, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that upholding fine traditional Chinese culture is the prerequisite for the “Second Integration.” He noted that on the path of strengthening cultural confidence, we must both vigorously promote fine traditional Chinese culture and correctly treat it. Regarding the “Second Integration,” we must adhere to a systems perspective and regard it as an important task in building a modern socialist country. We must both uphold the principle of letting a hundred flowers bloom and continuously enhance the country’s hard power, comprehensively advance socialist modernization, and make new contributions to developing Marxism with a more proactive historical responsibility and creative spirit.
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主任刘志明研究员指出,坚持中华优秀传统文化是“第二个结合”的前提。他指出,在坚定文化自信的道路上,我们既要大力弘扬中华优秀传统文化,又要正确对待中华优秀传统文化。对于“第二个结合”,我们要坚持系统观念,将其视为建设社会主义现代化国家的重要任务。我们既要坚持百花齐放,还要不断提升国家硬实力,全面推动社会主义现代化建设,以更加积极的历史担当和创造精神为发展马克思主义作出新的贡献。

Professor He Husheng, Standing Director of the China Atheism Society and Professor at the School of Marxism, Renmin University of China, delivered a report titled “An Analysis of the Relationship between Upholding Marxist Atheism and Respecting the Religious Beliefs of the Masses.” He argued that upholding Marxist atheism and respecting the religious beliefs of the masses are two sides of the same coin in adhering to the Party’s policy of freedom of religious belief. At the theoretical level, the two are unified within the Party’s religious theory through their commonalities in theoretical foundation, political stance, legal basis, and policy background; at the practical level, the two can achieve concrete and historical unity in the process of promoting harmonious religious relations and consolidating the Party’s mass base and ideological foundation for governance.
中国无神论学会常务理事,中国人民大学马克思主义学院何虎生教授作了题为《坚持马克思主义无神论与尊重群众宗教信仰关系辨析》的报告。他认为,坚持马克思主义无神论与尊重群众宗教信仰是坚持党的宗教信仰自由政策的一体两面。在理论层面,二者因理论基础、政治立场、法律依据和政策背景上的共同性统一于党的宗教理论中;在实践层面,二者能够在促进宗教关系和谐、巩固党的执政的群众基础和思想基础的过程中实现具体的历史的统一。

Lü Jianfu, Vice President of the China Atheism Society and Chair Professor at Sichuan University, argued that Marxist atheism is an advanced humanistic thought, opposed to the theism of religious systems based on all old civilizations. The reason socialism with Chinese characteristics is heading toward ultimate victory, and the Chinese nation has risen after a century of hardship, is based on the humanistic system of Chinese civilization. Chinese civilization has both a dominant Confucian atheist thought and a complete humanistic system of the “six arts” [2]2 The “six arts” (六艺) refer to the six classical disciplines of ancient Chinese education: rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. — philosophy, literature, political science, ritual (morality and law), music, and history. The modern civilization of the Chinese nation must be based on an advanced socialist culture and must also be grounded in excellent Chinese culture, and its guiding ideology is a modernized and sinicized Marxism. From the perspective of the two major civilizational systems of religion and humanism, Marxist atheism, based on modern Western science and technology and integrating the traditional Chinese humanistic system, will inevitably lead the construction of modern Chinese civilization, and only Marxist atheism can end the capitalist ideological system of modern civilization constrained by religious fetters.
中国无神论学会副理事长、四川大学讲席教授吕建福认为马克思主义无神论是先进的人文思想,与一切旧文明基础的宗教体系的有神论相对立。中国特色社会主义之所以走向最终胜利,中华民族历经百年磨难之后崛起,则是基于中华文明的人文体系,中华文明既有儒家无神论思想主导,又有完整的哲学、文学、政治学、礼仪(道德与法律)、音乐、历史学“六艺”的人文体系。中华民族现代文明必定以先进的社会主义文化为体系,也必定以优秀的中华文化的基础,而其指导思想则是现代化中国化的马克思主义。从宗教与人文两大文明体系的视角来说,基于西方近代科学技术,又融会中国传统人文体系的马克思主义无神论,必定引领中华民族现代文明建设,也只有马克思主义无神论才能终结近代文明受制于宗教桎梏的资本主义思想体系。

Professor Huang Chao, Vice President of the China Atheism Society and Vice Dean of the School of Philosophy, Wuhan University, delivered a report titled “On the Modernity of Marxist Atheism.” He argued that: first, Marxist atheism is a scientific and advanced theory of modernity, possessing the openness and inclusiveness absent in religious theology and the scientificity and modernity lacking in traditional atheism; second, Marxist atheism is the spiritual force that unites the CPC, and upholding and developing Marxist atheism is the ideological guarantee for political-religious harmony and the healthy development of religion in China; third, Marxist atheism deeply aligns with fine traditional Chinese culture, forming a humanistic cultural soft power that can transform the aggressive energy of “clash of civilizations” into the harmony of cultural exchange, interaction, and integration.
中国无神论学会副理事长、武汉大学哲学学院副院长黄超教授作了题为《论马克思主义无神论的现代性》的报告。他认为,一、马克思主义无神论是一种科学的、先进的现代性理论,具有宗教神学所没有的开放性、包容性和传统无神论所缺乏的科学性、现代性;二、马克思无神论是凝聚中国共产党的精神力量,坚持和发展马克思主义无神论是中国政教和谐与宗教健康发展的思想保障;三、马克思主义无神论与中华优秀传统文化深度契合,形成一种人文主义的文化软实力,这种文化软实力可以化“文明冲突”的戾气为文化交往交流交融的祥和。
