Hello, Your statement is interesting but it makes me wonder. Because you can see churches on the corner, and they say "Christian" - do you ever wonder if they really are Christian? We have many many many "Christian" churches in America, but maybe many of them are just formal or just a social club. Of course Germany is famous for 2 Christians. The first is Martin Luther and the second is Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Do you know Dietrich Bonhoffer? I would suggest reading his books, they are GREAT!! I have lived in China. The "official" government policy is atheism (atheismus). However, from ancient history Chinese were Daoists, and since about 800 AD many were Buddhists. But to be honest, most of the Buddhists are not ardent or dedicated. In the past two hundred years there is a growing Christian population. There are at least 50 million Christians in China. Most of them are underground. That's amazing in some ways, because less that 30 years ago they were tortured, and some are still. Good Questions :-) Blessings Segen Alex
