, China is on track to have the world’s largest population of Christians by 2030. Though the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is officially atheist, the rise of Christianity presents Beijing with challenges as well as new options for contributing to services, such as health care and education, to an increasingly demanding public. The government recently launched a series of initiatives to further regulate, and at times restrict, Christian adherents.

Guys, while this information is important for future demographics in China, and while I, as a Christian, welcome the prospect...SD is not a Religion Forum.

Threads like this will devolve into (and already are) people talking about what they think is good or bad about religion, and what is specifically wrong with a particular religion.

This leads to offense for those being told what is wrong, and ultimately to theological debate and argument.

I will not delete this thread because I do believe the info is important...but I am going to delete the debate, and close the thread.

THREAD CLOSED

DO NOT RESPOPND TO THIS MODERATION
