摘要：

当代中国宗教发展的社会实质,不仅仅是宗教生态问题，而是宗教信仰与社会权力的关系。其问题的深层，则是当代中国的权力生态问题，而非局限于基督教与民间宗教信仰的互动关系。当代中国宗教的发展及其宗教信仰关系，它们之间的矛盾甚至冲突，实际上是一个权力生态、社会生态问题。就当前中国社会变迁的趋势来看，重祭“华夷之辩”的旗帜，急于引申华夏传统以建构正统的信仰方法，实际上是忽略了现代国家与现代社会的宗教信仰之公共性与社会性。就其本质而言，与其说要给民间信仰或民间宗教一个发展的空间，不如说，如果要解决当代中国宗教信仰存在与发展的矛盾关系，关键在于开放宗教关系，还宗教与信仰的社会实践自由，给宗教信仰一个公共实践、公开交往的社会空间。从当代中国宗教信仰间错综复杂的关系之中，我们可以梳理出权力生态及其国家定义的信仰等社会学问题。

Abstract:

 The social essence of China' s contemporary development of religion is not only the issue of religious ecology, but also the relationship between religious faith and social power, that' s to say, its deep problem being the problem of China' s contemporary power ecology, not being the problem of the interaction between Christianity and folk religion faith. The relationship between the development of China' s contemporary religion and its religious faith, or the contradiction or even conflict between them, in fact, concerns power ecology or social ecology. As far as China' s current trend of social change, it is actually a neglect of commonality and sociality of modern country and modern society to rewield the flag of the "Chinese tribes in the east", or to be exact, to use anxiously the Chinese tradition to construct orthodox faiths. In regard to its essence, than saying to give a space of development to folk faith or folk religion, we would rather say to open a religious relation to return a freedom of the social practice of religion and faith, if we want to settle the contradiction between China' s contemporary existence and development of religious faith. This essay, from the complicated relation of China' s contemporary religious faith, tries to sort out such issues of sociology as power ecology and the faith in the level of the nation.
