Actively Guiding Religions in Adapting to the Socialist Society

We should guide religious people and believers to love the motherland, support the socialist system and the leadership of the Party, and abide by the laws, regulations and policies of the country; lead them to operate in accordance with the highest interests of the country and the overall interests of the nation; encourage them to explain religion in line with the requirements of social progress; support them and the people of all ethnic groups to work together to oppose all illegal activities that endanger the interests of the motherland and the people, and make more contributions to national unity, economic and social development, and reunification of the motherland. Religious affairs are in essence people’s affairs. The goal of the work is to gain support from the people.

Guiding religion to adapt to the socialist society does not require religious people and believers to give up their religious beliefs, but to unite them, mobilize their enthusiasm, and gather their wisdom and strength. They will not only promote the economic development, but also play an active role in socialist modernization and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, through a series of ways such as relieving psychological pressure, improving moral quality, promoting national unity, enhancing social harmony, engaging in charity activities, promoting traditional culture, participating in economic construction, protecting the ecological environment, promoting the unification of the motherland, and carrying out civil diplomacy, etc.
