Best Answer

The main religions of modern mainland China are Buddhism, Daoism (or Taoism), Islam and Christianity. Buddhism and Daoism are tolerant religions and many Chinese followers of these religions seek comfort in the other or in Confucianism, when needed. Ancient Chinese folk religion also forms an additional basis for faith. Buddhism is more widely followed by urban Chinese, while Daoism is more widely followed by rural Chinese. There are active Buddhist and Daoist temples all over China. However, people usually only go to the temples on special occasions. Faith and good works seem to be preferred over overt worship. Also, many households have a small shrine for private worship. There are Christian churches in many cities of China, with small but active congregations. The state insists on independence of churches from foreign control and must approve the appointment of senior Catholic clergy, a point of friction with the Vatican. Confucianism involves ancestor worship, which is frowned upon by the authorities. Confucian temples have been converted into museums and tourist attractions, and Confucianism is discouraged.

The Falun Gong religion is banned in China, but is followed underground by a relatively small group of adherents. chinese religious practices

China only allows a few religions. Christianity has churches and these are run by the state. Religions are usually frowned upon by the Chinese government (look at Tibet now and you will realise how much spiritual oppression there is in China.s realms)
