民族宗教无小事江泽民同志指出民族宗教无小事,这就是说要从政治的角度看问题,要有历史的智慧、世界的视野;要体现在政治性、理论性、政策性和策略性上。(一)宗教存在的长期和普遍性。认识宗教问题,首先要充分认识宗教的长期和普遍存在问题。在当今世界60亿人口中,共有48亿人信奉各种宗教,也就是说,如果将中国不信教的人除去,世界其他国家的人,几乎都是有着宗教信仰的。在这些国家中,有的将宗教作为国教,如中东地区;有的将宗教作为主要的文化传统和价值源泉,如以色列、美国、日本。从当今世界几个大的传统宗教的分布情况看,基督教分布是最为广泛的,包括欧洲、拉丁美洲、非洲、大洋洲及亚 Minority and religion are no small thing Comrade Jiang Zemin pointed out that there is no trivial matter in ethnic and religious affairs. This means that we should look at the issue from a political perspective, have the wisdom of history, and have a vision of the world. It should be reflected in politics, theory, policy and tactics. (A) the long-term and universal existence of religion. To understand religious issues, we must first fully understand the long-term and ubiquitous religious issues. Of the 6 billion people in the world today, a total of 4.8 billion people believe in all religions. That is, almost all other countries in the world have religious beliefs if the unbelievers are removed from China. Some of these countries regard religion as a state religion, such as the Middle East, while others regard religion as their main cultural tradition and source of value, such as Israel, the United States and Japan. Judging from the distribution of several large traditional religions in the world today, the distribution of Christianity is the most widespread, including Europe, Latin America, Africa, Oceania and Asia
