A Comparative Study Of Marx's Belief And Religious Belief

Belief is a unique phenomenon of human society,it is one of the recognized embodies the trust and vowed unwavering pursuit of the highest value of life object.Religious belief is the main form of human belief,which has played a positive role in promoting human civilization and social development.However,religious belief advocates and maintains a kind of life value by virtue of the concept of gods and myths,which is a kind of irrational and illusory reflection on social existence.The emergence of religion is the worship of human beings to the supernatural phenomenon,and this worship eventually derived religious beliefs.But religion is not the only form of faith,religion will disappear with the disappearance of its social foundation,but the belief itself will not withdraw from the stage of history.The birth of Marxism is a great leap in the history of human belief.Marx's belief and religious belief are two different forms of faith.From the general characteristics of the faith,the two have many similarities.First,the two as an important form of human spiritual life are particularly concerned about the spirit of the problem.Second,the two have a strong sense of humanity,will be the ultimate concern included.Third,the two kinds of beliefs have higher moral requirements on people's behavior in practice.It is undoubtedly vulgar and reckless that equating Marxist belief with Religious belief and treating Marxist as a "new religion".This is because we ignore the essential difference between the two faiths.First of all,the social background and the value goal of the two belief are different.Religious belief originated from the embryonic period of human civilization,while Marx's belief was the product of modern industrial civilization;Religious belief focuses on the individual's salvation and self's salvation,while Marx's doctrine is to realize the free and comprehensive development of "everyone" and "the all people".In the next place,the social function of the two is different.Marxist belief to change the society,there are distinct political aspirations,religious beliefs is the reality of the reasonableness of the argument;Marxist belief in the interests of the class as a link,to achieve joint proletarians of the world,but because of differences in religious belief and social integration function is not strong opposition.Finally,the two have different effects on human development.Religious belief,based on belief,creates a sense of obedience.Marxist belief is based on rationality,it can cultivate people's critical spirit.It is not conducive to the construction of scientific spirit and humanistic spirit because religious belief despise Science,but Marx's belief is scientific,and it can train people's scientific thinking ability.The religious belief pays attention to the disposition of mind,while the Marx doctrine lays stress on practice creation.In the new historical period of reform and opening up,we have to look back on the historical process of the collapse of traditional belief and the establishment of Marx's belief in modern China.It is also important to sum up the lessons of the cult of personality in the history of the Communist movement to the Marxist.We should also examine the current crisis of faith in Chinese Society.We will continue to firmly uphold the lofty ideals of Marxist belief and communism,adhere to the basic state policy of freedom of religious belief,and help the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
