儒学是孔子在继承殷周文化基础上所创立的人文道德学说 ,以探讨人生哲理、政治道德为主要内容。但是 ,儒学一开始就包含神秘色彩 ,孔子既讲“天”、“天命” ,又言“敬鬼神而远之”、“不语怪、力、乱、神” ,具有思想上的二重性、矛盾性。孔子死后 ,社会统治阶级自鲁哀公、汉高祖开始修建孔庙、神化孔子。汉武帝“罢黜百家 ,独尊儒术”之后 ,崇拜、祭祀孔子成为定制 ,历代统治阶级都通过神化孔子 ,推行教化、普及伦理纲常。久而久之 ,深入民心 ,使平民百姓以宗教感情顶礼膜拜孔子 ,使儒学事实上演化成为道德宗教。全面而论 ,儒学仍具有思想上的二重性 :既是哲学 ,又是道德宗教 Confucianism is Confucianism’s humanistic moral theory which is based on the inheritance of Yin-Zhou culture.

All in all, Confucianism is still ideologically dual: both philosophy and morality
