No it was not an atheist state. It was anti competition to the state. The Asian religions never left the state.
Again the only thing China did or Stalin did for that matter was replace worship of a religion to worship of a political party.
Secular to the founders did not mean ban anything. I it merely meant not playing favorites. Setting up a litmus test based on politics or religion is SECTARIAN because it advocates special treatment to one segment of society. There is no difference to me between the monochromatic attitude of a one party state and a one religion state. Secular is the not one rule, it is the attitude of neutrality. China is as sectarian as Iran and Saudi Arabia. The only difference is one is state worship and one party rule and the other is one religion rule controlling the state.
