From the link:
"Our churches are still the targets of atheist persecution, for example, the forced demolition of crosses," Liu said, adding that the party seems determined to step up controls on religious practice in China."
My take:
Forced demolition of crosses? Is that how atheists behave when they seize power? Also according to the article, only 10% of Chinese are Party members. So the 10% minority are imposing their atheistic faith on the other 90% of Chinese? Why is this not a source of concern for freedom loving people everywhere?
But even with all their attacks on faith, faith does not die. Faith is obviously growing in China or it would not be "attracting serious concern", to quote the article.
Could this be the leading edge of a wave of "non-believer to believer" activity that might totally transform the world and bring the atheists back to faith?
