The Chinese people take Christian as part of the west culture, now China is very much westernized, you can see the clothes, buildings and the teachings at the schools. People in China like to celebrate Christmas but not read the bible, Christmas very much celebrated by the shopping mall, and most of the kids demand Christmas gifts, college students will have a party for dance, even some churches have to close gats since the last night in fear of too much people rush in to make a big accident.
But Chinese people not religious since the ancient times, religion never was a great power in Chinese history. even 2000 years ago, the great Kong, when asked about Ghosts and Gods, said “to respect and keep far away “ from the these super natural things.
Tao and Buddha has been a philosophy to give people a attitude of life in Chinese history, never became a main political power to rule the society like the in medieval Europe or the Arab world.
Religion created by people and used to serve the people, when Hong xiuoqiuan used Christianity as a tool to rebelling the Qing dynasty, he used it not wisely, when some British heard about in South of China, somebody want to establish a Christian heavenly kingdom, they rush to help their eastern Christian brothers and sisters, but after a talk with Mr Hong, these British decided to form a “riffle team” to gun down Mr Hong and his gangs. Mr Hong claimed he was the bigger brother of Jesus, and later another big boss in the gang, Mr Yang claimed himself the father of Jesus.
When a Chinese company was to make the rail way to link two holly cities for the Hajj pilgrims, the clerics say none Muslim can get into the cities, so all the Chinese worker become Muslims, this makes everybody happy, all the Muslims around the world very happy about this piece of news, and the worker very happy that they can get the work done, and then they can go home to eat poke. Religion sometimes is trick to deceived themselves, but you have to play it until today, since your forefathers played it many many years ago, you have the duty to continue.
