摘 要：本文从信教群众的人数、结构分析了我国宗教新格局、新趋势及其在国际上的影响。我国五大宗教及新兴宗教在改革开放的时代都获得了发展，但也呈现出明显的不平衡性，原有区域分布格局也发生了改变，从长远看，一些地方的宗教生态会从相对单一向多元方向发展。新形势下，宗教矛盾日益复杂，主要体现在：各宗教自身存在的矛盾；境内外敌对势力利用宗教分裂国家，危害国家安全；宗教在发展过程中与社会有关方面产生的矛盾。

Abstract:   The writer analyzed the new situation and future trend of China's religions, as well as its influence on the world, in terms of the number and structure of religious believers.  The 5 major religions and other new rise religions in China have been developed since the reform and opening-up, but obviously in an unbalanced way, and the geographical distribution has also changed.  In the long run, the religions in some areas will be more diversified.  In the new era, religious conflicts become more and more complicated.  There are inner conflicts in the regions themselves.  The domestic and overseas hostile forces want to split the country by making use of the religions, thus jeopardizing national security.  And the religions may also be in conflict with the society in the process of their development.
