Religious Reconfigurations in the People's Republic of China
Résumé anglais This paper examines both the revival of religious organisations and practices in China and what could be coined the “exit from religion” exemplified by the loss of religious basis for social togetherness and the instrumentalisation of religious organisations and discourse. It argues that “revival” and “exit” taken as a twofold phenomenon facilitate an understanding of the evolving and often disputed nature of China's religious sphere throughout history as well as the socio-political stage that the country is entering.
