摘要: 本文基于经典的“世代分析”框架和系统信任研究的“文化论”路径,试图回答:与其前辈相比,出生并成长于改革开放之后的新生代在对基督教信任方面有无差异?若有,近代以来影响国人对基督教态度的科学主义和文化民族主义在其间是否仍具中介影响?以此会突显民众对基督教怎样的态度变化?文章通过对长三角地区调查数据的分析发现,与前辈相比,新生代对基督教的信任度更高;科学主义与文化民族主义在世代与基督教信任间发挥着部分中介效应,且影响较弱。由此,我们可以在一定程度上看到新生代在实现包容性国民精神转型方面的向好态势。

Abstract: The massive entering of Christianity into China has been related to the invasion of Western countries into modern China and the involvement of China into the process of globalization.In order to save the nation,some social elites introduced scientism and cultural nationalism into China.As a result,Christianity was portrayed as superstition and yangjiao (foreign religion).The thoughts evolved to materialistic scientism and antiimperialism/antirevisionist nationalism.At the same time,they were ideologized and shared by all the people during the state regime construction.After reform and opening,China had embedded into the process of globalization,and the comprehensive national power is strengthening.At the same time,Christianity is growing rapidly.How do people think of it?Based on the classic cohort analysis and a cultural perspective in institutional trust study,this paper intends to answer:Is there any difference in terms of trust on Christianity between the new and the elder generations?Are the scientism and cultural nationalism still the mediator effect between the cohorts and their trust on Christianity? What is the trend of Chinese’s attitudes to Christianity? Using the data from the Survey about Religious Faith in Yangtze River Delta (2011),this research finds:1) The new generation has more trust in Christianity than the elder one. 2) The scientism and cultural nationalism have the partial mediation effect between the cohorts and the trust in Christianity,but the effect is very weak. To some extent,from these findings we can infer that the spiritual transformation of new generation is developing toward a good way. Meanwhile,due to the limitation of the cross sectional data,the findings of the paper cannot be generalized as we don’t consider the factor of the individual life course.
