Xi Jinping and atheism
Xi Jinping is an atheist.[1] He is very opposed to Christianity and has increased persecution of Christians.[2]
Atheism is a core tenet of militant communist ideology (see: Atheism and communism). In 1955, Chinese communist leader Zhou Enlai declared, "We Communists are atheists".[3]
In 2014, The New American 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.[4] | ” |
