Despite supression and persecution from the government, China has the second fastest growing christian population in the world, just a fraction of a percent behind Nepal. Worldwide, christianity is still growing, although atheism is growing at a faster rate. Of course, due to it's currently low numbers, it doesn't take a large number of new atheists to create a large percentage of gain. I will agree that the western nations are quickly moving away from christianity and other organized religions, but those relilgions are growing worlwide.
Don't be too quick to embrace them, Lek. They are heretics.
Quote:Chinese Christianity is different than traditional European or American Christianity in that women are usually the leaders in the churches and groups. Women are usually the majority at house church meetings or Three Self Church services. Chinese Christianity tends to be Pentecostal. This means that they regularly pray for miracles and believe in miraculous “gifts of the Spirit.”
