Church Growth Soaring in China
In a country where once Christian Believers had to hide in underground churches, now China has an estimated 58 million Protestants and nine million Catholics, the second largest Christian population in Asia. The Chinese government has taken notice of China’s church growth as numbers of Christians continue to soar, and, according to The Economist, “Many experts, foreign and Chinese, now accept that there are probably more Christians than there are members of the 87-million strong Communist Party.”
Religions LOVE to inflate their numbers...and "Christians" are no exception. (and I put "Christian" in quote marks because the overwhelming majority of those who claim to be Christian, are not in fact Christian)
That said, there's about 244 million Buddhists in China.
