问答题 我今天的发言题目是:“基督教在西方民主政治发展中的作用”。我认为:西方民主政治是在自身文化的历史进程中形成和发展的,其中宗教,特别是基督教始终起着独特的复杂的作用。作为官方意识形态的基督教教义,整体上并不是革命的,但这并不排斥其关于平等和法制的一些教义曾经起到的积极作用。它在经过民主革命者改造和利用以后,有利于鼓舞人们推翻封建专制的暴政,捍卫人民的自由权利。而且,在现代推进民主事业的过程中,基督教的不同派别,包括天主教、东正教和新教所起的作用并不相同。西方国家在宗教和政治文化上的差别,对于其民主进程也有相当的关联作用。无
【正确答案】The topic of my speech today is “The role of Christianity in the Development of western Democracy and Politics” . I hold the view that western democracy and politics come into being and develop within the context of its own culture. Religion, especially Christianity, has been playing a unique and complicated role. Generally speaking, official doctrines in Christianity don’ t emphasize on revolution. However, its preach for equality and rule by law played a positive role in history. Being reformed and utilized by democratic revolutionists, it inspires people to fight against feudal tyranny and in turn safeguards their freedom. In addition, different branches of Christianity, namely Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox and Protestantism play different roles in the advancement of modern democracy. Different cultures also lead to different types of democracies among western countries.
