Razib Khan points out in Discover Magazine, "most secular nations in the world are those of East Asia, in particular what are often termed “Confucian societies.” It is likely therefore that the majority of the world’s atheists are actually East Asian."[2] See: Asian atheism and Global atheism
East Asia contains about 25 percent of the world’s population. China’s population represents 20 percent of the people on earth.[3]
China, atheism and Asian males
See also: China and atheism
China has the world's largest atheist population and practices state atheism.[4][5]
Chinese Communist Party and Chinese males
See also: Atheism and communism
According to the BBC:
| “ | At the end of the Chinese Communist Party's 19th Congress, the new Politburo Standing Committee was revealed: seven middle aged men in dark suits, without a woman to be seen. There has never been a female member of the Standing Committee.
Of the 2,280 delegates at that Congress, fewer than a quarter were women. That's got some people asking whether the party should take gender equality more seriously. The New York Times wrote of women being "shut out" - but does the Chinese Communist Party have a woman problem? Of the 89.4 million members of the Chinese Communist Party, just under 23 million are women - that's 26%. And women make up 24% of China's National Congress - the sprawling national parliament. You don't have to be a Communist Party member to sit on that.[6] |
