Abstract: The Christianity worshipped by Taiping Tianguo (Heavenly Kingdom of Peace) Movement had been considered heresy by Western missionaries. In the recent years，Chinese scholars have also dismissed this brand of Christianity as cult. In fact，the religious ideal-minor heaven，preached by Taiping Tianguo’s“heaven on earth”was no different from that of the“white sun world”，worshipped by the secret societies in Ming and Qing dynasties. Therefore，the Taiping Tianguo’s brand of Christianity should be considered as“secret Western religion”. The practice of such a religious ideal shows，the religious leader and his senior followers have indeed realized the extravagant lives comparable to that of the“heaven on earth”. However，the rank and file of the rebellion still endure the cruelty and suppression of the senior leaders.

摘要： 太平天国所崇奉的基督教,曾被西方传教士视为"异端",近年来又被国内一些学者贬为"邪教"。其实,太平天国的"人间天堂"宗教理想——小天堂,同明清时期的秘密教门所崇奉的"白阳世界"教义并无二致,因此可以称作"秘密洋教门"。太平天国"人间天堂"宗教理想的实践表明,夺得政权后的教主与骨干,确实过上了"人间天堂"的豪华生活,而广大信徒和起义参加者,却依然受着剥削与压迫。
