Is it consistent with China's religious policy to debate theism or atheism with religious believers?

First, in China's religious policy, there is no stipulation that "non-believers" are not allowed to "debate theism or atheism with believers"!

Second, the basic explanation of "religion" (online Xinhua Dictionary): I believe there are supernatural forces in the world. I believe that this power dominates nature and society, so I fear and worship it.

The main feature of religion is that there are supernatural mysterious forces or entities outside the superstitious real world in the face of natural and social forces that human beings have not yet known and can't control. This mystery dominates everything and has absolute authority, dominates the evolution of nature and determines the fate of the world, thus making people revere and worship this mystery, and thus extending their belief cognition and ritual activities. In short, it is the phenomenon that religious superstition replaces scientific laws.

Third, the basic explanation of "superstition" (online Xinhua dictionary): believe in astrology, divination, geomantic omen, life, ghosts and gods, etc. It also refers to blind faith or worship. The former belongs to feudal superstition, while the latter belongs to religious superstition.

The main characteristics of superstition are: they don't have the ability to distinguish and can't fully understand the essence of things; Without the ability to distinguish, but for a phenomenon or statement, even unswervingly believe and worship; Blindly attach the phenomenon and statement of so-called "belief" and "worship" to positive and disdainful actions. Superstition hinders the development of social productive forces. This is because its belief and worship of supernatural forces hinder people's research and exploration of the causes, nature and laws of natural forces, thus making it impossible for production technology to develop smoothly on the basis of scientific understanding.

Fourth, as can be seen from the above, firstly, "superstition" can be divided into two types in form, one is feudal superstition and the other is religious superstition; They are both theism and idealism in essence, and they are both ignorant and irrational. Secondly, religion is a superstition, that is, religious superstition belongs to the category of superstition, but not all superstitions are religions. Third, in recent years, the forces of various religious churches and extreme religious believers, especially those who rely on religion to make money and end their religious rice bowls, have adopted the means of confusing the fish with the pearls, stealing the column and confusing the audience in order to save themselves from the declining crisis and maintain their weak survival, turning superstition into the same word as feudal superstition and equating faith with religious belief. We do everything possible to decouple religion from superstition, violation of science, anti-science, anti-humanity and heresy, and even do everything possible to link religion with science, scientists and great men, and fabricate all kinds of lies and fallacies to mislead people.

As can be seen from the above, although religion is not the same as feudal superstition, it belongs to the category of superstition, that is, religious superstition!

6. Basic explanation of "science" (online Xinhua Dictionary): ① A branch of knowledge system that reflects the objective laws of nature, society and thinking. 2 scientific. Such as scientific farming; This statement is unscientific; Combine revolutionary spirit with scientific attitude.

"Science" comes from "practice" and is realistic! And "feudal superstition", especially "religious superstition" comes from "fiction" and is fabricated out of thin air!

Seven, science (atheism, materialism, rationalism, lofty beliefs), not only with feudal superstitions, especially with religious superstitions (theism, idealism, blind worship, foolish beliefs), but also there is a fundamental conflict of opposites.

Eight, religious superstition regards science as a natural enemy, and religious superstition tries to hinder the development of science all the time. In medieval Europe, the church ruled everything and had absolute authority. The church is the second government, controlling a lot of property, in charge of courts, prisons and ideology, and science is just a humble handmaid serving the church. The inquisition and the church suppressed all scientific researchers who violated the Bible. Due to the power and tyranny of the church, many scientists were brutally tortured and persecuted. The birth of modern science can be said to be bought by many scientists with their blood and lives. The "Reformation Movement", especially since the 20th century, witnessed the rapid development of science, while the power of the church and religion was rapidly weakening. Although science and religion are very different and irreconcilable, in order to continue their weak existence, some churches and religious forces can only attack and satirize by means of war of words and pen cutting, while others are bound to "science" reluctantly and against their will.

China is a country with 56 nationalities. In the primary stage of socialism, the policy of freedom of religious belief (and freedom of non-belief) does not mean supporting and encouraging the development of religion. It is still an important task to educate all citizens about materialism and atheism.

X. Science is science and religion is religion. The future belongs to the era of science completely, and science will eventually defeat religious superstition completely! Religious superstitions will eventually perish completely!
