一個宗教的兩個部份

This post was updated on .
我提出,一個宗教可分為兩部份:人文主義部份和教義部份。人文主義部份,是導人向善、愛人如己的博愛精神,胸襟廣闊,放諸古今四海皆準。教義部份包括宗教象徵、符號、理論,被歷史及文化塑造,困於歷史與文化之內,所以疆化、狹隘、排他。一個宗教,感動人的,往往是人文主義部份。因此,宗教宣傳,如佈道會、褔音刊物,多拿出人文主義部份,感動人,吸引人。人被感動,歸皈該教,便被迫也接受該教的教義部份,十分無奈,也完成一場美麗的誤會。人文主義保留宗教的博愛部份,不拘狹隘的部份。

最少兩部份

您的意思是可以多過兩部份?頭一句可以修改為「一個宗教可分為最少兩部份」。

基督宗教應該是教義主導,人文主義只是包裝。

A religion is not just belief of certain propositions about a supernatural or semi-natural being. It involves that of course but more importantly it involves a certain organizational structure, some people dedicated part or full time to its propagation and administrative functions, a certain number of followers, a certain ritual to help preserve and reinforce its identity and its core beliefs and a certain practice to be constantly renewed or adapted in response to new problems faced by it in its institutional life. Its humanistic programme, if any, is only a part of the whole matrix.

例如《聖經》律例

In reply to this post by Yvonne
例如我看《聖經》,感受到某些猶太律例背後的人道慈悲的動機,另一方面,也看見不少出於無知、無理、教條化的律例。耶穌的人道精神,與保羅的強調教義,也形成強烈的對比。

人本有惻隱之心,將之具體化於宗教聖典的律法之中,以保護弱小。但當宗教與律法漸漸彊化、教條化,形成橫蠻無理的教義,便會反過來壓迫人,反而違背了當初那份惻隱之心。人文主義,只是回到惻隱之心。與其「回到聖經」,不如回到慈悲。
