The history of Shen Han

Our party and state have always had clear policy boundaries in dealing with religious beliefs, feudal superstitious activities and general superstitious activities. We will implement a policy of freedom of religious belief for major religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Christianity, and protect normal religious beliefs and activities. All banned reactionary sects, gods and witches are not allowed to resume their activities. Anyone who cheats people to cheat money and harm others will be strictly banned and brought to justice. Article 99 of China's Criminal Law stipulates that anyone who organizes or uses feudal superstitions or cults to carry out counter-revolutionary activities shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than five years; If the circumstances are relatively minor, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights. Article 165 stipulates that Shen Han and witches who use superstition to spread rumors and defraud property shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years, criminal detention or public surveillance; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than two years but not more than seven years. In addition, for superstitious professionals who make a living by reading fortune-telling, fortune-telling and geomantic omen. Mainly to educate, persuade and help them to stand on their own feet. Don't engage in such activities of deceiving people by superstition. If they don't comply, they should also be banned according to law. For the general superstitious activities of the masses, we can only adopt the method of education and guidance, improve their ideological consciousness and get rid of superstitious thoughts by popularizing scientific and cultural knowledge.

At present, in some places, it deserves attention. One is the revival of the forbidden witchcraft, and superstitious professionals also return to their old jobs, leading to the rise of feudal superstitious activities. A few grassroots cadres are not clear about what normal religious beliefs are and what feudal superstitious activities are, and some even support or even participate in feudal superstitious activities. The other is that some people not only have low religious motivation, but also have poor religious awareness. They only know the canon and don't know the doctrine, which has certain blindness. Therefore, confusing religious belief with superstition of ghosts and gods also encourages feudal superstition activities.
