The Study On Religious Thought In German Ideology

German Ideology is a great work of Marx and Engels who founded the theoretical system of historical materialism.Through the criticism of all kinds of idealistic historical views,German Ideology constructs the theoretical system of historical materialism,which contains the religious critical thoughts from the perspective of historical materialism.Throughout the history,there are few achievements in the exploration and research of religious critical thoughts.The profound religious culture in Europe,especially the prevailing religious criticism upsurge in Germany,has had a profound impact on the formation and expression of religious criticism in German Ideology,and thus completed the leap and change of Marxist religious outlook.Through the criticism of the religious view of idealism of young Hegelian,German Ideology finds the realistic road from religious criticism to labor alienation criticism,restores the realistic economic basis of the emergence and development of religion,and completes the arduous mission of returning religion from illusion to reality.Combined with the national conditions of Germany at that time,German Ideology made a deep thinking on the popular concept of "real socialist trend of thought".It revealed that the behavior of guiding socialism by Karl Grun and others was metaphysical and distorted the real practice.The essence of "true socialist trend of thought" is to enslave the people with religious doctrines.With the help of religious criticism,German Ideology reveals the characteristics of religion in an all-round way:firstly,it emphasizes that religion is the reflection of the real society;secondly,it points out that religion has the falsity of concealing the reality;thirdly,it exposes the class nature of religion;fourthly,it reveals that the historical development of religion is not independent.The thought of religious criticism in German ideology,as an organic part of historical materialism,has important reference value for us to further understand Marx and Engels' historical materialism,political economy and scientific socialism.Based on the critical thought of religion in German Ideology and other works,Marxist religious view has a positive impact on the workers' movement in history.The critical thought of religion in German ideology plays a fundamental role in the formation of the religious view of Sinicization of Marxism.In the new era,we should guide religion to adapt to socialism and make it a new subject.And the critical thought of religion in German ideology can be used as a new key to solve this subject.
