Atheism, the short lived idea?

China has the largest population of any country. Even their minorities are more numerous than most country's majorities.

I was in Hong Kong and I saw a Christian reading their Bible in Maccas! they even invited me to church! Atheism has no hope when Christians act like a loving community, like they do in China.

Christianity is the fastest-growing minority religion in China. Mormonism is the fastest-growing minority religion in the USA. The USA is not going to become majority Mormon, either. Anecdotes are not the plural of data. Some Chinese Christian movements are led by people claiming to be the return of Jesus. This is not going to turn out like you imagine, I think. Generously estimating PRC Christians at 100 million makes them about 10% of China's population. The CIA World Factbook makes it 4-5%.

If you consider that a derail, maybe you shouldn't have mentioned 'the worst that Christians can do'.

Typically in the first and second generations. In the USA it's a truism that by the third generation, you're primarily American.

I couldn't think of a Buddhist society I'd rather live in than the USA.

Yep, but I blame 777 for necro-ing it rather than my own lack of observational acuity.

Too bad, it was more interesting than the current threads.
