This book addresses the issue of public religion and its
implications in Chinese society. Zhibin Xie explores various
normative considerations concerning the appropriate role of
religion in public political life in a democratic culture. Besides
drawing on the theoretical discourse on religion in the public
sphere from Western academics, it holds that the issue of religion
in Chinese politics should be addressed by paying attention to
characteristics of religious diversity and its political context in
China. This leads to a position of "liberal-constrained public
religion" in China, which encourages religious contribution to the
public sphere as a substantial component of religious liberty in
China on the one hand and proposes some constraints both upon
government and religions for regulating religious political
discourse on the other.
