| dbo:abstract | China has the world's greatest irreligious population, and the Chinese government and the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is officially atheist. Despite limitations on certain forms of religious expression and assembly, religion is not banned, and religious freedom is nominally protected under the Chinese constitution. Among the general Chinese population, there are a wide variety of religious practices. The Chinese government's attitude to religion is one of skepticism and non-promotion. According to a 2012 Gallup poll, 47% of Chinese people were convinced atheists, and a further 30% were not religious. In comparison, only 14% considered themselves to be religious. More recently, a 2015 Gallup poll found the number of convinced atheists in China to be 61%, with a further 29% saying that they are not religious compared to just 7% who are religious. Since 1978, the constitution provides for religious freedom: "No state organ, public organization or individual may compel citizens to believe in, or not to believe in, any religion; nor may they discriminate against citizens because they do, or do not believe in religion" (article 36). The Chinese state officially recognizes five religions: Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism, and Protestantism. (en) China tiene la mayor población irreligiosa del mundo, y el gobierno chino y el Partido Comunista Chino (PCC) en el poder son oficialmente ateos. A pesar de las limitaciones a ciertas formas de expresión y reunión religiosa, la religión no está prohibida, y la libertad religiosa está nominalmente protegida por la constitución china. Entre la población china en general, hay una gran variedad de prácticas religiosas. La actitud del gobierno chino hacia la religión es de escepticismo y de no promoción. Según una encuesta de Gallup de 2012, el 47% de los chinos eran ateos convencidos, y otro 30% no eran religiosos. En comparación, solo el 14% se consideraba religioso. Más recientemente, una encuesta de Gallup de 2015 determinó que el número de ateos convencidos en China era del 61%, y otro 29% se declaraba no religioso, frente a solo un 7% que era religioso. Desde 1978, la Constitución contempla la libertad religiosa: "Ningún órgano del Estado, organización pública o individuo puede obligar a los ciudadanos a creer o a no creer en ninguna religión; tampoco pueden discriminar a los ciudadanos por creer o no creer en la religión" (artículo 36). El Estado chino reconoce oficialmente cinco religiones: El budismo, el taoísmo, el islam, el catolicismo y el protestantismo. (es) |
