No, not at all.  But then again they do have a special day set aside to worship the Money God.  So, yes.

However, all in all, I'd describe the Chinese as being godless.

Although we did have someone try to enter a police station while wearing a 'vest' a couple of weeks ago which does suggest that a certain element of religion is making some kind of impact.

The story about the fashion statement has escaped me, where was that ?

There's church in my metropole with new 2m-size refurbished cross in red. I asked one of my students, if she can take photo of it.

As soon as I get it (next week), I'll post it here, so we might go together to 'eChina-mass-online'! over Skype, I think....It's the most reliable.

Someone uses this website to get answers for their test or speech or something. Do your own homework, you're Chinese you should know the answer.

No it is not and that is a good thing. China has enough problems without adding that crap into the mix.

Yes....but the only religion the Chinese truly believe in is money, or the promises of riches if they just work hard enough...the Chinese dream.

Overt propaganda has deluded half a billion people (the rest are just oblivious morons) that the rich should be worshiped because there is always a chance they could be rich too....too bad the poor suckers fell for the scam....China was divvied up a long time ago by the party and their families.

Chinese worship the god called "consumerism"....good for the party.

A government of the elite, by the elite and for the elite.

Never discuss religion in China- it's rarely part of most people's lives here.
