The contemporary world is world of multi-culture, and culture diversity is a factor that could not be neglected in the trend of globalization. The formation of multi-culture has momentous positive significance on the prosperity and advancement of culture itself, the fullness of individual life as well as the liberation of thinking. Since the adoption of the reform and opening up policy, China initiates a way of"Two-way Interaction"on world cultures with an opening and all-embracing heart. Through over 20 years of painful transformation and hard explosion, Chinese culture is now showing unprecedented miscellaneous tendencies, and religious culture is one of them. In the course of thousands of years of human civilization, religion has already become a special culture. Owing to its special way of controlling human spirit, religion has consciously or unconsciously played a certain balancing and regulating role in social relationships.China is an officially atheist country and also a country allowing religious diversity. With the reform and opening up, religious beliefs has been resurrected. College students– the main force of social development in the future are a special highbrow group who are the most sensitive and who have the most opportunity to get in touch with various social ideologies, naturally, they are prone to be influenced by the social phenomenon of"Religion Hot". As far as individual is concerned, college is an important and critical step in man's formation of outlook on life, world view and value. Some college students have already been pious religious believers, while others, though not believers, still showing keen interests in the religious culture, hence a phenomenon of"Religion Ambiguous"is occurred. The extension and long existence of religion in colleges has become an indisputable fact that we can not neglect. As for those college students who believe and adore religion, it is far from merely considering them as"ignorant"or someone with thought problems. Since reform and opening-up, cultural diversity has brought value plurality. Within the loud sound of multi-value, people face a dilemma and it is difficult for them to form a sense of belonging to a certain culture, thus they fall into a confusion of selecting moral values. While eradicating superstition in modern society, there is often a tendency of vulgar materialism, which restores the value that reflects human dignity into a naked relationship of real interests and a pursuit of sensual life, and the result is just to make moral life and moral education become a process of establishing the rules of daily life, and the moral education an unspiritual physical movement, which is the biggest pain of modern moral education. Owing to sacred religious doctrines, rich culture and ultimate concerns, religion is attractive to many college students, especially for those in confusion and loss. Objectively, in terms of the moral education for college students, religious belief has positive significance as well as negative influence.Therefore, how to treat the relationship between religion and college students and care about college students'religious problems under such a global and multi-culture background is not only a need for college students to build sound characters and promote physical and mental healthy development, but also a need for Socialism University to hold the trend of the talent.In recent years, a large number of researches have been made on the religious beliefs of college students and multi-culture respectively, yet, studies on the religious beliefs of college students under the multi-culture background, especially the current multi-culture environment in China are still rare. Therefore, this thesis mainly studies that when China is now facing a moral belief crisis, what are the current situation and the advantages and disadvantages of religious belief in colleges under the multi-culture background, and how an ideological and political education worker correctly understands and solves this problem.
