During the Cultural Revolution, religion was banned in China. When restrictions receded in the 1980s and 1990s, religion flourished as China entered into an era of economic reform and opened up to the world (Goossaert and Palmer 2011). Among China’s major religions, Christianity experienced the most prominent growth (Aikman 2006; Bays 2012).

The Chinese government banned religion during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and ’70s. And although Christianity and other religions bounced back in the 1980s and ’90s as restrictions were lifted, the size of China’s Christian population now appears to have leveled off, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of the latest available survey data collected by academic organizations in China.

Is China a religious country? A new report from Pew Research Center explains why answering this question is so complex. Based on formal religious identity, China is the least religious country in the world (among all places where survey data is available). Just one-in-ten Chinese adults self-identify with a religion, according to the 2018 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS). China also has the largest count of people – about 1 billion adults – who claim no formal religious affiliation.
