Since the 18th National Congress,General Secretary Xi Jinping has creatively put forward the major theoretical and practical discourse of the principle that religions in China must be Chinese in orientation,and innovatively answered the major question of how to provide active guidance to reli-gions so that they can adapt to the socialist society.He has made innovative contributions to the reli-gious theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics,Marxist religious views,and the theory of reli-gious affairs governance.One is to elevate the religious theory of socialism with Chinese characteris-tics to a new height from the perspectives of religious essence,roots,and value theory;Secondly,it has enriched and developed Marxist theories on the relationship between religion and culture,religion and politics,and religion and society,achieving a new breakthrough in adapting Marxist religious views to the Chinese context.Thirdly,the theory of religious affairs governance has been elevated to a new level in terms of governance philosophy,governance values,and governance mechanisms.These important innovative contributions fully reflect our party's innovativeness in integrating the ba-sic tenets of Marxism with China's specific realities and fine traditional culture.
