Is this not the result of the communist government not allowing religion during the Mao era?China the least religious country.
Isn't that wonderful :wink: However, the survey shows the same level of convinced atheists in Canada as in the U.S. or Saudi Arabia!Canada is an atheist friendly country
Of course. Also my bad, it really is the percentage of "convinced atheists."Is this not the result of the communist government not allowing religion during the Mao era?
Oh you mean because:just one more reason why China will be leaving the US in their dust over the next century.
Attending church obviously isn't the measure of being religious, as ~65% of Canadians consider themselves to be Christian, but you keep trying to misrepresent the importance of religion in life.Canada is an atheist friendly country

According to Outreach Canada demographic research, only 18% of Canadians attend church regularly. In urban centers like Toronto, only 5% of the population can be categorized as consistent church attendees!

So, they apparently don't need to in order to feel Christian.Canadians hardly go to church or temple
Interestingly that you qualify the Christianist feelings by 'meaningful', what ever that means. The article you posts seems to want to make a connectin between regular attendance with 'meaningful' and therefore a 'real' Christian which of course is false. You're only a 'real'Christian if you go to church regular? Keep swinging, It would be entertaining, if it wasn't so pitiful.In Canada there are close to 24 million people who do not have a personal relationship with Christ!
Nearly 82% of all Canadians have no meaningful church relationship!

No single city or province in Canada has a greater percentage of churched people today than a decade ago.
Among existing churches in Canada, 80% are characterized as plateaued, declining, or disintegrating.
Evangelical churches have failed to gain an additional 2% of the Canadian population in the past 50 years.

Faith no more! From New Zealand to Canada, religion 'to become extinct' in nine countries

Frankly I'm more worried about my Canadian side in that case than I am my U.S. side.No, because they are pragmatic and focus their energies on hard work and practical education in science, engineering and skilled trades. The US is more interested in turning out the next American Idol or Honey Boo Boo. Suck it up sunshine. You are gonna be their bitch in a few decades.
This could help explain why unethical crooked Republican businessmen enjoy doing business there.....:eyebrows:

Tell this to the Falun Gong followers in China and the population in Tibet. They'll talk to you about no conflict.That is why Japan, Korea, China are moving ahead while the rest of the world is mired in religious conflict.
You've just caused CM's noggin spin right off it's post.While it is true that the communist regime of China is more atheist-friendly
than they are hostile towards organized religion the Chinese people are anything
but atheistic. You won't likely find more atheists in China than in the Christian world.
The belief of a spiritual power in heaven is so deeply ingrained in the Chinese culture
that no ideology of the governing regime can change that.
Those atheists who make up the composition shown on the map in the OP
are probably closer to Spinoza's pantheists rather than hard core atheists.
