The Absurdity of the Chinese Communist Party Condemning Religious Belief as Feudal Superstition
The Chinese Communist Party thinks that religious belief emerged from the fear and worship of supernatural forces of a humanity that was backward in scientific knowledge, and says that religion is superstition. Furthermore, they condemn and ban religious belief in the name of opposing feudal superstition. What is the basis for these viewpoints of the Chinese Communist Party? Ultimately where is the absurdity of the Chinese Communist Party condemning religious belief as feudal superstition?
In Recent years, the situation of the religious freedom in China has been worsening. More and more Christians have been forced to flee to other countries to seek political asylum because of being unable to bear the CCP government's persecution. As the true facts of their persecution by the CCP are gradually being known by the world, some international human rights organizations start to give them attention and appeal for their status. From April 6 to 7, 2018, an annual meeting of the International Society for Human Rights (ISHR) was held at Gustav-Stresemann-Institut in Bonn, Germany.The theme of this annual meeting was “Focusing on the humanitarian situation and religious freedom in the Middle East.” Some human rights activists, religious figures and representatives of persecuted Christians were invited to participate in this meeting. During the meeting, some speakers discussed the situation of the religious persecution in China. The Church of Almighty God (CAG) Christians, as invited guests, also gave speeches, and introduced the main measures the CCP has applied to cruelly suppress and persecute the CAG, which aroused the attention of some participants.
