But as traditional religions have evolved over thousands of years, the veil of mystery covering them has gradually been lifted. On the one hand, this has insulated them from accusations from civil authorities that they are "arousing people with wild talk." On the other hand, it has brought them closer in line with people's common sense notions about living in the world of the here and now.
只不過傳統宗教在嬗遞千年的過程中，逐漸「去魅化」，一方面避免被各時代執政者扣上妖言惑眾的大帽子，一方面也讓教義更貼近人世情理。
