How to deal with the tension between religion and non-religion (can non-religious scholars have an influence on religion)
There was a discussion about "cultural Christians" (scholars who don't believe in Christianity) 20 years ago. Their existence is necessary. Faith and doubt exist both inside and outside the church, and people inside the church will also have doubts about faith. At this time, the existence of pluralistic thoughts is very meaningful. For example, the early translation of sin into "sin" actually broke away from the original meaning of sin and added an illegal meaning. Later, after scholars' research, sin was translated into "sin", which is more in line with its original meaning and contributes to the exchange and understanding between Chinese and Western cultures. Therefore, the existence of religious scholars is necessary.
