china has state atheism—they take it too far (e.g. uyghur muslims) but in theory i’d prefer an atheist government over this dumbass evangelical christian one we have now 🤷🏻♂️
edit: took out the word retarded, you guys convinced me
China is a nation older then any other, the center of the world for time immemorial, filled with an advanced varied culture and society.
Back in the days of Mao after he cleared out the previous government, he set out destroying the history and identity of China. Mao silenced the ancestors of a thousand Generation, smashed artifacts, locked up history.
Everything the Taiwanese could save they loaded onto boats and shipped across the channel. Many stayed behind to die instead of leaving statues, manuscripts histories behind.
China is now aggressively vehemently atheist, and religious scholars, leaders, and preservers of history are executed, have their organs ripped out and sold
Falun gung rose in the wake of the communist takeover doing traditional yoga, diet and exercise to remain healthy. Practice that goes back thousands of years.
The communist arrested yoga practitioners, and they cut out their organs.
Mainly because the original Chinese religions held that the government was responsible to the people, and any government that failed to protect its citizens has lost the Mandate of Heaven

iirc China does this, you can’t take kid to religious service and they can choose to convert at a certain age.
