China doesn’t ban organised religion. It even has a state church. China is paranoid in general, and an effect of that is they just like to keep religious followers where they can see them. In a way, literally, churches there are kind of like a compound (not a security compound) where they hold meetings and worship and house missionaries and stuff.
It doesn’t ban evangelisation or missionaries per say, but mainly foreigners. Part of this is a concern with foreign interference (which to be fair, the USAID was recently exposed for sending money to Christian organisations abroad so the American megachurches can gain influence there.)
It’s not ideal for Christians, but it’s nowhere near what @SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world was suggesting as “banning organised religion”.
If anything, China can be seen as preferring organised religion to unorganised religion
There are multiple countries who have already banned orginized religion.
It is the next step of human society.
Examples? I’d like to see how it’s going.
North Korea is basically the only one I could find.
And they execute religious followers… Among other things.
They just replaced traditional religions with worshiping Glorious Leader.
True ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Learn to google things
So you’re full of shit, got it.
If you can’t learn to copy/paste into a sewrch engine then you are going to keep failing to know things for a long time.
I don’t fucking care enough to spoon feed you, you’re an adult act like it.
