Statistics for Pondering

The religious make-up of China
(as compiled by East China Normal University, 2007)

41.5% Nonreligious
27.5% Chinese folk believers
8.5% Buddhists
8.4% Christian
8.2% Atheists
4.3% Animists
1.5% Muslims
0.05% Other

The other 0.05, we're still not sure.

I was surprised by the statistics, too. I thought the Atheist numbers would be higher, but I guess the majority of "Nonreligious" are really just materialists. It's different, I guess.
