Rule of Law in Religious Affairs

Promoting the rule of law in religious affairs is an important principle guiding the government’s approach to religion, as part of its overall strategy to promote the rule of law in all spheres of life. It entails government supervision of the implementation of laws, regulations and policies on religion. The legitimate rights and interests of religious bodies, including temples, churches and mosques, normal execution of religious responsibilities by clerics, and normal religious activities of worshippers are protected by law. Measures are taken to prevent and counter abnormal, illegal or criminal activities undertaken under the guise of religion, and infiltration and interference by hostile overseas forces in the name of religion. The Regulations on Religious Affairs provides a legal basis for promoting the rule of law in religious affairs.

依法管理宗教事務(wù)

依法管理宗教事務(wù)是我國在宗教工作上的一個重要指導(dǎo)思想，貫徹依法治國方略的重要體現(xiàn)，是指政府對有關(guān)宗教的法律、法規(guī)和政策的貫徹進行行政管理和監(jiān)督。政府依法保護宗教團體和寺觀教堂的合法權(quán)益，保護宗教教職人員履行正常的教務(wù)活動，保護信教群眾正常的宗教活動；限制不正常的宗教活動，防止和制止不法分子利用宗教和宗教活動進行違法犯罪活動，抵制境外敵對勢力利用宗教進行滲透。依法管理宗教事務(wù)，最重要的是深入貫徹落實《宗教事務(wù)條例》。
