Complementary: The Sacred and the Secular

Contrary to common beliefs, religion is made up of religion - respect and non - religious elements - politics and philosophy. Mutualizing China's ideals, complementary fusion of this religious and non-religious elements means contradictory contradictory harmony. However, the broad explanation, the Western term "religion", when applied to ancient Chinese religion, Confucianism and Taoism prevented the clear distinction between religion and philosophy. Each department is quite different, but each department keeps a similar harmonious purpose while giving political influence to the growth of other departments.

In the "Faith" section of today's New York Times, Peter Steinfelds raised the question of secularization. An outline of this article is summarized in "Religion and politics around the world" by Pippa Norris and Ronald Inglehart. This seems to have analyzed how social change will lower religious significance. . Believe in the West. Steinfels used it to prove the understanding of "followers". In the end, secularism is the 'fantasy of the world'. Probably because it denies believers' beliefs about God's truth.

As Greenbratt acknowledges, secularization is not a process of evacuating religious beliefs or sacred content systems, but only modernity of the secular form. This is a form of rituals left behind, traditional rituals such as massacres of dead people and ceremonial betrayal are abandoned, spiritual energy invested in it continues to be displayed in a new format including art It is. In modern times, sanctity is not merely evaporation, it is integrated into the structure of our culture.

In the secular era described by Taylor, all beliefs can be discussed. This is a change of sacredness / secular division in the pre-modern era, not a second-defined normative model, but better captures the reality of our situation. According to this third definition, both faith and non-religious people are secular since they live in times when faith is one of many alternatives. Why is it important to distinguish between the three ways of defining "secular"? Taylor believes that this is important to us both historically and philosophically. Assuming the pose of # 2, you will misunderstand the historical events that open the path to the era described in definition # 3, which will lead to further confusion in the era of our lives.
