Message: [QUOTE="Da_Aisijimo_Gou, post: 2408084, member: 264"] Atheism? Yes, to varying degrees in different regions. And, local government leaders in particular tamping down wannabe western and returning Chinese missionaries conducting non-kosher activities more aggressively than accepted. Meanwhile, different international organizations report anywhere between 20-80 million Christians (protestant and non-Vatican City sanctioned Catholics alike) attend services and masses in public churches, e.g., the large early 20th church behind one of my Shanghai buildings. However, that figure does not include many Christians meeting elsewhere, e.g., a group of 30-40 employees which [I]supposedly did not gather [/I]each Sunday in my company's large conference room nor the group's Sunday [I]minister[/I]/work week HR manager. Great guy! Despite [I]supposed [/I]outright government prohibitions, independent sources also report half of China's 1.4+ b citizens regularly practice well-recognized religions. Not Christianity, but a whole lot of followers of Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, Muslim, local faiths, etc. Indeed, religions some westerners may inexplicably discount. Actual experience, regular interaction with Chinese relatives, friends and colleagues, and factual knowledge gained over several years on-the-ground is quite revealing. By contrast, many a westerner opts to believe all perceived facts, other less fact-based information, and even a few too many bs rumors as [I]absolute gospel[/I] truth. Lavar? [/QUOTE]
