Xi Jinping and the promotion of atheism
Atheism is a core tenet of militant communist ideology (see: Atheism and communism).
In 2014, the New American website indicated:
| “ | The Communist Party of China (CPC) is letting its members know that the party’s official adherence to militant atheism has not changed; Party members are not allowed to be Christians, or to hold any other religious beliefs. That is the clear message sent by a top Party official in an editorial published on November 14 in the Global Times, the international version of People’s Daily, the official newspaper and mouthpiece of the CPC.[2] | ” |
