[Religion: Soothing the spirit and persuading the mind]

Religion exists on the basis of the power of various gods, hoping to find the destination of soul for people, persuading people to abide by some rules that are considered as social norms, which are often used by many people as spiritual consolation for the peace of mind.

Since ancient times, human beings have many religions, some of which are numerous, some of which are few, some of which are relatively strong, some of which have disappeared, some of which have had a positive effect on human society, some of which have had a negative or even destructive effect.

In today's civilized society, each religion must at least meet the following requirements to be considered beneficial and harmless to society and believers:

A) It has to be something that makes believers better off. Believers believe in religion, join religious organizations and participate in religious activities in order to have a better life, including learning knowledge, wisdom and spiritual comfort. It's not good to let believers and believers pay a lot of costs but can't provide them or just provide them with little help or services, or give them deceptive and illusory help, or even encourage believers Self mutilation and even suicide, is against humanity;

B) Must be able to create value for society. It includes that the believers should be allowed to join the WTO and engage in labor to create material value, knowledge and spiritual value, or promote excellent ones, instead of encouraging the believers to avoid the world, not participate in labor, not create material value, or play no other social role. Three martial arts and one Buddhism extermination happened in the history because they saw that many people were attracted to Buddhism, they could not create labor results, but needed social support to become a social burden, and religious buildings and religious activities also consumed a lot of human and material resources, affecting economic development, which is to be taken as a reference to avoid recurrence;

C) It must conform to the law and cannot engage in illegal acts. The law is the highest standard of the society, and no religious regulation can surpass and override the law. The content of religious communication must be put on record and supervised. The content of propaganda that violates the provisions of the law must be severely punished. Any content that violates the Constitution and the law in the doctrines must be deleted. In particular, the illegal content of propaganda of violence, harming people, unhealthy content, even the illegal content of encouraging believers to do things against the humanitarian law for the sake of protecting religion, encouraging believers to harm and kill infidels must not appear. If any religious place is found to publicize illegal speech, it shall be immediately sealed up, closed down, collected illegal materials and other propaganda tools, severely punished those who publicize illegal speech, and re educated those who are publicized and poisoned. It is not allowed to interfere with the normal law enforcement on the basis of religion, or punish believers with religious provisions instead of laws, and strictly prohibit and crack down on all private punishments;

D) All religions should not be exclusive and only allowed to exist alone. They should not restrict, exclude, exploit, attack and harm the infidels and people who do not believe in their own religion. They should not interfere with people who do not believe in their own religion and ask them to comply with their own religious rules and customs;

E) Allow others to comment, debate and criticize the religion, and allow others to have words and deeds that do not respect the religion, because this is their freedom, unless they do harm to the legitimate interests of the religion, people can use legal means to deal with. It is not allowed to press, attack or hurt others because of their unfavorable comments, discarding and destroying their own articles related to the religion. If they feel that they are being criticized improperly, they can refute but not interfere and make trouble;

F) We must not force people to believe in religion. Any religious requirement can only attract people to believe in religion but not force people to believe in religion. All acts of coercion and coercion must be severely punished even if they have not caused physical injury because they have caused psychological injury;

G) It is not allowed to preach to minors and force them to do so under family pressure and without providing for their needs. Even religious media cannot require minors to read. The intelligence of minors is not mature enough to distinguish right from wrong. Only when they are adults can they propagandize them and make their own choices;

H) Everyone must be allowed to be free from religion and to believe in other religions. It is a violation of the law whether everyone is free to believe in religion or not. It is not allowed to be divorced from religion or even punish them as traitors. Those who believe in other religions after they are divorced should also be respected and not harassed, reviled or punished, even if the traitors do harm to the church and other teachers It has been solved by law and cannot be punished without permission;

I) Freedom cannot be restricted to believers. We can't put religion above everyone's head. We can only exhort the believer's speech and behavior, not restrict or even punish them. The law strictly protects all freedom of speech, including the believer's freedom of speech. We can't interfere with the believer's marriage and love to ensure their freedom. We can't control the believer's body and spirit, including coercing and misleading them to obey the arrangement Etc;

J) Equality between man and God is necessary. And don't put God above everyone. There can be no gods above all, and the general claim of inequality is that some people should pretend to be God's name and will to achieve their own interests. The glorious revolution in England is to promote the realization of equality between man and God so that people can be freed from being enslaved by "God" (that is, the staff that pretends to be God's will);

K) Believers are equal and cannot be deified. Although there are differences in seniority and conduct among believers, they must also abide by the law that everyone is equal, and cannot be superior to others by the differences in the level of positions within the church. Some religions do not respect and obey masters, gurus and priests excessively. In addition, every believer is a human being, not a God, and cannot be deified or self deified (such as calling himself "living Buddha" or "savior"). All deified believers are false, deceitful, have personal interests, and violate the spirit of religion itself (such as calling "living Buddha" is a manifestation of delusion in Buddhism);

L) Formal religious activities are not advocated. Including kneeling and kowtowing, burning incense and paper money, offering sacrifices, chanting sutras and chanting incantations, etc. are all formalized. They worship heaven and earth, gods and everything without worshiping, and more importantly, they practice the spiritual concept advocated by the gods before their lives rather than make them happy through rituals and offerings. They hope that we can transmit and continue their morality and spirit. In particular, some people in Tibetan Buddhism pay too much attention to rituals, including advocating to knock heads for many kilometers and turn Scripture tubes for many times, which are formalized things. In fact, many religions themselves are against formalized activities, including the Vajrayana Sutra, which is very against formalized believers https://www.zhihu.com/question/287783577/answer/468438874

M） There must be a separation of church and state. Many religions are conducive to the ruler's social governance and management. Therefore, politics likes to use religion. At the same time, many religious masters also like to use the wide range of believers and obedience to realize their political ambition of ruling the whole society. Therefore, the cooperation between politics and religion even exists in many areas at many times, including some countries. There are many disadvantages in the integration of politics and religion, including that the people must be more obedient and more difficult to have objections, because all objections can be severely punished on the basis of apostasy, and many national laws with universal value have been replaced by imperfect and reasonable rules. In addition, there have been religions used by the government to promote the decline of a nation's combat effectiveness and population. For example, the Qing government vigorously promoted Lamaism in Mongolia and asked many people to believe in it without engaging in labor or childbearing (Kangxi said that building a Lamaism temple in Mongolia is better than building 1000 troops);

N) Prevent religion from being used as a tool for making money. This is very common in China at present. This kind of behavior makes religion lose its positive significance and become the umbrella to deceive people;

O) It is better not to wear religious clothes in public places, so as not to cause bad psychological impact on others.

Some harmful religions often appear in the society, that is, heresy, which has become a thorny problem in social management and even threatens human civilization and security. For example, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has caused 100 million deaths and great damage to social economy. Today, there are many heretics that continue to harm human society. How to crack a cult? Here are some ideas or permission References:

A) Through propaganda and open and transparent debate, the evil believers can understand that the essence of the cult will not support the cult and thus reduce its mass base;

B) From the immediate consideration of their followers, they should formulate policies and regulations that are beneficial to them and rescue them, which are recognized and welcomed by them, and resolve their hostility and confrontation;

C) To catch a thief, we should first catch the king, and focus on educating and punishing the main leading members according to law, so as to change their thinking;

D) Those who have been confused, brainwashed and stubborn will be segregated and punished according to law;

E) Protect the normal law enforcement, and severely punish those who dare to make trouble without reason, interfere with the law enforcement of relevant departments and punish religious crimes, so that they will not gather people to make trouble or even besiege the law enforcement departments because someone violates the law and is punished.
