From June 18 to 19, the Marxist Religious Research Forum (2022) and the youth reading class of Marxist classics, hosted by the Institute of world religions of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Chinese religious society, were held online.

Take a clear-cut stand and adhere to the Marxist view of religion Gao Peiyong, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and member of the Party group, said that we should actively inherit the excellent achievements and good style of study of Marxist religious research, unswervingly take Marxism as the guidance, study and explore the history, classics and doctrines of various religions, objectively and comprehensively analyze the current situation and situation of religious development at home and abroad, and carefully summarize the theory and practice of our party's religious work in the past 100 years, Religious researchers should strengthen the research on the theoretical system of Marxism, including religious views, strengthen the research on the Sinicization process of Marxist religious views, and strengthen the application, development and research of Marxist religious views in the new era. We should pay special attention to the training of Marxist religious research talents, promote the construction of Marxist religious research platform, and focus on the investment of Marxist religious related projects. Second, we should strengthen the construction of Marxist religious discipline. Further, it combs, constructs and discusses the subject history, system and methods of Marxist religious teaching in a forward-looking, targeted and systematic manner, so as to make suggestions for religious work in the new era and contribute to the development of philosophy and Social Sciences in China. Promote the integrated development of basic theoretical research and applied countermeasure research of religion, provide a plan for understanding, analyzing and dealing with various difficulties and challenges faced by religious work in the new era, and draw a blueprint for building a socialist religious theoretical system with Chinese characteristics. Strengthening the construction of Marxist religious discipline Zhengxiaoyun, director of the Institute of world religions of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and President of the Chinese religious society, discussed the practical path of strengthening the research team of Marxist religion in the new era and strengthening the construction of Marxist religion discipline from the three dimensions of religion, religious work, philosophy and social sciences. She said that we should further standardize the four standards for cultivating religious research teams in the new era, namely, being firm in ideology and politics, adhering to the Marxist outlook on religion, having a good style of study, being good at innovation, strengthening the construction of religious research teams, strengthening the construction of Marxist religious disciplines in the new era, and constantly creating a new situation in the party's religious work. Yuan Sha, member of the Party group and vice president of the Central Academy of socialism, believes that from the perspective of discipline structure and the research basis of religious teaching, it is an important task for religious researchers to further promote the Sinicization of religion, improve the academic nature and academic quality of religious teaching, and form a disciplinary system, academic system and discourse system of Religious Science with Chinese characteristics. "Marxism is both a guiding ideology and an academic resource for discipline construction." Yuan Sha said. Xin Xiangyang, Secretary of the Party committee and vice president of the Marxism Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that Marxist classical writers' discussions on religious issues are very rich, providing valuable resources for religious research. Gong Yun, vice president of the Marxism Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, explained why we should pay attention to studying Marxist classics. He believes that the history of the development of Marxist religion has made us deeply aware of the necessity and urgency of paying attention to the study of Marxist classics. Learning the classics of Marxist religious discourse is a powerful weapon to improve the level of religious research, and it is also the cornerstone of the construction of Marxist religion. The purpose of understanding and studying religion is to correctly understand religion and grasp the essence of religion. Communists should be firm Marxist atheists Through the analysis of the development process of western religion, the development process of Marxist religion, and the relationship between Marxist religion and Western religion, Jia runguo, deputy director of the religious research center of the central United Front Work Department, believes that to strengthen the construction of Marxist religion research team and discipline, we must understand what is Marxist religion and what is non Marxist religion. At present, the key is to find out what western religion is and the differences and connections between it and Marxist religion, so as to find the foothold of the development of Marxist religion and form its own characteristics. Marxist atheism is an important part of the basic theory of Marxism and the core idea of Marxist religion. Zhu Xiaoming, former Secretary of the Party group of the China Tibetan Studies Research Center, explained why atheism publicity and education should be strengthened, as well as the obstacles and key points of atheism publicity and education. He said that in contemporary China, general theoretical publicity and education cannot replace the publicity and education of Marxist atheism. We should use facts and comparisons to carry out vivid and effective publicity and education, rather than remaining atheistic publicity and education in theory, principles and concepts. In the new era, we should unremittingly carry out atheism publicity and education, so that atheism education can be introduced into textbooks, classrooms and the minds of young people, so that atheism can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Fengyanli, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and deputy director of the Institute of philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, profoundly expounded why Communists cannot believe in religion. He proposed that Marxism was formed and developed on the basis of criticizing religion. Real communists are atheists, firm believers in Marxism and communism. The freedom of religious belief of the people is dialectically unified with the fact that Communists cannot believe in religion. (outlook new era)
