改革開放以後，中共中央在處理宗教事務的態度上有了相當大的 轉變。中共原本希望世俗的「馬列毛」意識形態能夠取代非世俗的宗 教信仰，然而在實踐過程中並未成功。因此，中共中央從論述建構的 方向著手，通過對宗教論述的建構，在解構宗教的神聖性讓宗教回歸 到世俗的同時，一方面確立了中共政權對宗教進行干預與統治的正當 性；另一方面處理的正是內部的信仰危機問題。也因此，在論述建構 的背後，隱含著是一套權力機制的操作。

Since China started reform and opening-up, a drastic change took place in the CPC’s attitude toward religious affairs. The CPC originally attempted to use the secular “Marxist-Leninist-Maoist” ideology to replace the non-secular religious beliefs to no avail. Thus, the center of the CPC switched to discourse construction. While secularizing religion by reconstructing a religious discourse, the CPC, on one hand, has established the legitimacy of Chinese authorities’ intervention in and control over religion, and on the other hand, managed to handle its internal crisis of faith. Infallibly, behind this construction of discourse lies an operation of power mechanism.
