马克思主义论宗教信仰自由

马克思主义经典作家对宗教信仰自由问题,曾作出过大量论述。这些论述主要集中在这样两个问题上,即是否主张和主张什么样的宗教信仰自由?为什么?理由何在?对于第一个问题,马克思主义是主张宗教信仰自由的,主张完整的、平等的、相对的和纯正的宗教信仰自由。对于第二个问题,主张宗教信仰自由,符合马克思主义即辩证唯物主义、历史唯物主义和科学社会主义的基本原理;主张宗教信仰自由,必须同各种左的和右的错误思想作坚决斗争。马克思主义者和马克思主义政党应当勇于和善于继承、丰富和发展这些基本思想。

Marxism on Freedom of Religious Belief

Marxist classical writers have discussed abundantly on the problem of the freedom of religious belief (FRB). These discussions mainly focus on two issues, viz. whether or not the FRB is claimed for and what kind of it; and why to claim and for what reasons? As to the first issue, Marxism does claim for the FRB and it claims for integrate, equal, relative and pure FRB. As to the second one, it claims for the FRB to conform to the basic principles of Marxism or Dialectical Materialism, Historical Materialism and Scientific Socialism. To claim of FRB we must struggle stoutly against kinds of social thoughts with the "left"-or-right mistakes. Marxism and Marxian parties shall inherit, enlarge and develop these postulates courageously and artistically.
