Rousseau on Civil Religion

Rousseau's religion on folk religion is an essential part of every society. Knowing this, people may see the features it is useful for. For Jean-Jacques-Rousseau, religion, especially folk religion established by monarchy, is an exciting political instrument. In the new society, people can not understand the purpose of the law. Therefore folk religion encourages people to comply with the law. Because they are afraid of some sacred existence. For advanced society, civil religion encourages people to maintain obedience habits as they gradually understand and love the law.

Despite the contributions of Rousseau and Durchem, folk religion is a term related to Bella's work, whose "American folk religion" is a special characteristic of transcendental religion and public concern which is a characteristic of the modern belief system We are attracting attention in combination. Although it can be said that American baseball is easily classified as "public concern" especially in the context of the United States, the concept of folk religion is often restricted by the example quoted by Bella in his work. Anniversary and Thanksgiving in the United States, Royal ceremonies and sacred ceremonies in the UK, and similar civil rituals have been proposed and accepted as part of folk religion. However, researchers hope that what is pointed out here is that the scope and scope of folk religion is influenced by "limited examples"

For Rousseau, folk religion is the driving force of political instruments. In the new society, people do not understand the purpose of the law, citizen's religion encourages people to comply with the law by fearing people to sacred existence. In a developed society, religion of citizens motivates to grow into the habit of understanding the law and obeying it when loving. "This is a very important thing to the country, as all citizens have religions that fall in love with their duties." He is worried that ignorance of the population will hinder their obedience to the civil law Did. He entrusts the responsibility of this agency to legislators, and his job is to lead people to a common interest. Here, Rousseau may refer to using religion as a political tool Religion is the driving force for people to voluntarily defend the law, worry about God's power and heavenly retribution to people I ask you.
