The People's Republic of China is officially an atheist state, but the government formally recognizes five religions: Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity (Catholicism and Protestantism are recognised separately), and Islam.One of the main features of the most free societies is the freedom of religion. Unless your religion specifically calls for violence or sacrifice, you're free to practice as you wish in accordance to very liberal laws.
The most tyrannical countries are either atheist or feature a strict & absolute religious/ethnic code that targets other religions/ethnicities
I don't have a problem with this. I don't like China's government/politics. This I like. Officially, they don't let any one fairytale control or dictate their political policies. A complete separation of church and state. Officially I'd love it if one day 70% of us were atheists in America and our government took the position of agnostic state.
