ABSTRACT

In philosophy, “self-consciousness” is carried out in the process of mutual alternation between the outward and inward cognitive lines of rationality. The emergence of human self-consciousness gives people a sense of existence, which brings the deep pain of human death consciousness, which makes human beings fall into a two-way contradiction. On the one hand, it makes human beings have a difficult and joyful civilization process, on the other hand, it cuts off the link between human beings and the universe, and makes human beings independent. Religion, with its utopian theory, has created the ultimate dream for people, and once again has a connection with the “most perfect” universe, which is an existence that can not be ignored. As a kind of belief, Marxist belief has some superficial similarities with religious belief. This paper explores the significance of human self-consciousness to religion, and the root and essence of religion from the perspective of the relationship between Marxist belief and religious belief, as well as the freedom of religious belief.
