Why don't you ask people about ghosts and gods?

At present, there is a strange phenomenon, that is, many party member producers do not adhere to the dialectical materialist world outlook and Marxist atheism. In particular, some leading cadres are superstitious and don't ask people about ghosts and gods. Some even spend a lot of money to consult so-called masters and fortune tellers, which has had a very bad influence on society. It can be seen that it is particularly important to uphold and publicize atheism and criticize feudal superstitions at present. Why do we insist on atheism? First of all, because our party's world outlook is dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and atheism is an important part of this world outlook. It is precisely because of adhering to the atheistic world outlook that our party can lead the people to change China step by step with their long-term arduous exploration and struggle, and realize the liberation and prosperity of the people of China, instead of leading the people to place their hopes on the protection of the gods and pursue the illusory kingdom of heaven and the afterlife; It is precisely because we adhere to the atheistic world outlook that we can arm the whole party's mind with scientific theories and deepen our understanding of the objective laws of China's revolution and construction in more than 90 years' practice, instead of relying on God's revelation and subjective imagination. If atheism is removed, the party's theoretical building will collapse, and everything achieved by the party's struggle will become a bubble. Secondly, atheism is the basic spirit of China traditional culture. China culture has a profound and distinct tradition of atheism, which has produced many Confucian scholars and celebrities who insist on atheism. Generation after generation of atheists, with their ideological height and unique discourse system, led the people of China to think rationally about the fundamental problems of philosophy at that time. Their efforts have created such a situation: although there are many different religions in China's history, China has never been a religious country, but a secular country; Although China culture contains religious content, it is not a religious culture. China's religion itself has a strong realistic character, without mysticism, fanaticism and extremism, and there has never been a global religious war. It has been estimated that among the more than 6 billion people in the world, there are about 4.8 billion religious people and 654.38+0.3 billion non-religious people, most of whom are in China. Obviously, this is inseparable from China's cultural tradition. This feature is an important reason why our party, as an atheist political party, can naturally grow up from the people, get long-term support from the people, win victory and be in power for a long time. However, at present, some people at home and abroad try their best to create all kinds of fallacies, such as: "Only theism has faith, culture and morality, and atheism leads to the cross-flow of social materialism;" The reason for the decline of moral standards in China today is that China people do not believe in religion, especially Christianity; China's top priority is to make up lessons on the religious beliefs of China people ",and so on. These fallacies are totally out of line with the social reality of China. We should point out clearly that, on the contrary, atheism tradition is not only an important part of ancient civilization in China, but also a great advantage of China's modernization, including moral promotion. Of course, we must learn from all the outstanding achievements of human civilization, but we will never learn from western superstitions and never give up the characteristics and advantages of our atheism. Thirdly, in today's China, various anti-scientific and anti-rational phenomena are getting worse and worse, which are harmful to people and society, and need to be cleaned up from the source, that is, from the world outlook. We should be soberly aware that in some places, in order to promote the religious craze, giant buddhas and temples are built indiscriminately, and they are keen on large-scale religious activities, but the central authorities have repeatedly banned them. In some places, when building office buildings and decorating offices, Mr. Feng Shui should be asked to point out the maze and set up "transfer stones" and "cushion stones", even at the expense of destroying urban planning and the environment; All kinds of "masters", "imperial doctors" and "fortune tellers" have stirred up muddy water after your singing ... Behind these foolish and anti-scientific behaviors are some party member cadres and even leading cadres. Some producers in party member don't talk about scientific superstition. When they saw the Buddha, their knees went limp, and they took the lead in worshipping all kinds of disorderly gods in Machamp. They were keen on burning the "first wick incense" and bumping into the "first bell", and even embezzled while worshipping God, and provided God's spiritual support for corruption with the money from corruption from God's "blessing". These have become a strange "landscape". We can't say that theistic worldview will definitely lead to these phenomena, but the worldview root of these phenomena must come from the worship of supernatural forces. Our society is not unable to control these chaos, but it is not strong enough. So far, it is basically limited to exposing some specific scams and has not solved the deep-seated world outlook problem. As long as we don't liquidate it from a philosophical point of view and take atheism as an ideological weapon for most people, at least party member cadres, to understand and transform the world, we will never be able to build a scientific and prosperous modern society. Adhering to atheism should first be the requirement of the ruling party for its own construction. The Party should continue to educate party member on dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and ask party member to draw a clear line between materialism and idealism, atheism and theism, resolutely resist the erosion and infiltration of various decadent ideas on the Party's world outlook, and put forward disciplinary requirements. This kind of education should not only continue to persist, but also be continuously strengthened. As we know, most cases of party member cadres engaging in feudal superstitions were brought out while investigating their economic problems, and few cadres were criticized and investigated for engaging in feudal superstitions. Therefore, atheism education should be included in the party's educational activities. Party member should be pure not only in politics, organization and style, but also in world outlook. This requirement seems simple, but it is not easy to practice. If the party can't adhere to the scientific world outlook, it will lose its career. Adhere to atheism and be good at educating and publicizing the masses. We promote atheism not only to adhere to a scientific theory, but also to let the masses master this ideological weapon to understand and transform the world. Only when this scientific theory is truly accepted by most people can this kind of publicity and education have complete significance. The Constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC) clearly stipulates that the state shall educate the people on dialectical materialism and historical materialism. We should throw away all kinds of views and emotions of inaction and take the initiative to assume the requirements and responsibilities of the Constitution. Atheism education should also start from teenagers, enter the classroom as soon as possible, enter the teaching materials and enter the hearts of teenagers. Adhere to atheism and constantly improve the level of atheist educators. Atheism, as a discipline of social science, has rich historical and philosophical connotations. It is not enough to say that there is no God in the world. Atheism education also needs to be enriched, perfected and enriched with the latest scientific achievements with the development and changes of society, and it needs to make a realistic analysis of the development and influence of atheism and theism in today's world. Therefore, atheist educators need to have rich knowledge of natural science and humanities, including religious knowledge, and have a broader world vision. Adhering to atheism should always be closely combined with adhering to the United front with religious circles. The history of China's revolution and construction fully shows that it is primary for us to agree with the fundamental interests of religious people, and the difference in world outlook is secondary. Therefore, under the guidance of the Party's correct religious principles and policies, it is entirely possible to achieve "unity and cooperation in politics and mutual respect in faith" and work together for the great goal of building a Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The propaganda of atheism education is by no means to create opposition between religious and non-religious people, but to let more people learn to treat religious phenomena correctly, choose their own world view rationally, and oppose some forces at home and abroad to use religious issues to disrupt social order and engage in political infiltration and subversion. The above-mentioned social chaos is harmful to society and religion, so we can form a United front with religious circles to fight against these social chaos. It is necessary to strengthen the atheism construction in universities and research institutions, scientifically and rationally analyze religious phenomena with dialectical materialist world outlook and methodology, give scientific and convincing explanations to religious phenomena, and closely combine the firmness of principles with the accuracy of policies. Only in this way can we convince more people to adhere to the scientific world outlook and better adhere to atheism.
