Abstract
Religious self-government in Taiwan has great progress after the Martial Law has been abolished, and religious events reveal different characteristics. I discuss the progress and prospect of religious self-government in Taiwan from the constitutional prospective. This paper has adopted legal approach, document analysis and comparative method. Compared to relative laws of Japan, we can figure out the background and key points of Taiwan''s recent reforms. This paper argues that Taiwan and Japan have both affected by the thought of religious freedom from the West. Japan has better religious laws than Taiwan. In Taiwan, there are few cases about the religious thought itself. This paper has positive attitude to enact a new religious law and has some suggestions to refine it.
