At the beginning of the 21st century, Europe is being Islamized, while China is being Christianized. This proves that if God exists He must have a sense of humor. Buddhism and Taoism still claim most worshippers in China but the state-sanctioned churches count up to 35 million followers. The underground churches are estimated to have 80 million members or more, about 12 million of them Catholics, the rest Protestants.
In a Beijing beauty salon, convert Xun Jinzhen explains why Christianity has become so popular: We have very few people who believe in communism as a faith, so theres an emptiness in their hearts. Among the Chinese converts are some figures from the 1989 democracy protests. According to Han Dong-fang, I think human beings need something at a spiritual level. We dont want to believe we are coming from nowhere; going nowhere. In China we have traditionally followed Buddhism. We had quite a deep religion. But communism destroyed everything. When communism became this corrupted thing which failed everybody, people still needed a belief. I think thats the reason for Christianity in China.
