6.1 The functions of religion to society

Religion plays a role in stabilizing social order. Maintaining social stability is the eternal premise of the whole historical process in the primary stage of socialism. In this respect, religion, a social force, can play its unique social role. In the process of the transformation of today's society and the establishment of the socialist market economic system, the social competition is fierce, and people's thoughts are active, emotions are unstable, and impetuous emotions and social instability caused by restlessness, greed, jealousy, annoyance, disappointment, resentment, difficulties and setbacks are prominent. By propagating doctrines and holding ceremonies among believers, religion can strengthen their identification with the existing order, relieve people's spiritual crisis and reduce social shocks. We will explore and promote the contents of religious teachings, ethics and culture that are conducive to social development, progress of The Times and sound civilization, and provide support for the development and stability of social order. China's traditional religious culture contains a large number of concepts such as peace, non-violence, nature, harmony, compassion, the middle way, equality and balanced development, which are of great significance to today's world where ecology is deteriorating and conflicts are intensifying.

5.2 Religion

 1. In the early stage of human society, religion constructed the "non-consanguineous consciousness identification" in human society and promoted the transformation of human socialization. In the primitive society, human beings had many beliefs until the clan society, and religion appeared as a companion organism of the clan society with blood ties as the natural bond. For the religion of this period, Durkeim's view is generally accepted now, that is, totem is the primitive religious form of clan society, which strengthens the social identity of social members within the clan to each other. With the integration of different clans and tribes, the common belief of the same totem makes human beings shift from consanguineous identity to non-consanguineous identity, which is the beginning and prototype of human social and cultural identity. (Example: The integration of Yan and Huang Tribes and the evolution of Dragon Totem) 2. As an ancient ideology, religion played a decisive...

6.2 Relationship between economics and sociology

The link between sociology and economics: Economic status is actually determined by social status, and political attitudes are basically determined by economic status. That is to say, the most essential thing of class is social division of labor, which is to assume the main role in social collaborative production. Society is a collection of individuals composed of multiple groups to complete all the collaborative tasks needed for the survival and development of individuals in the society. A class is a group of people of the same or similar social status....
