I wouldnt be so sure about that, especially with our great religion increasing in China

China accepting christianity to some level would be amazing. Not only would atheism become much weaker in the world but it would also start the spreading of our religion in the far east and Asian continent overall, something our forfathers werent able to do before.
One can hope...

First of all, the majority of the Chinese aren't atheists (only about 14-15% of them are), they're Buddhists or Taoists.
Second of all, most of that part of Asia was colonised by Europeans. If they couldn't convert them by now, they ain't gonna (and you can ber sure that the muslims ain't gonna convert).
Third of all, Christianity is one of the worse things that could happen to China. The last thing they need is a radical religious sect ruining their developing country and halting their progress.
(and in the West, thanks to secularism, atheists have nothing to worry about  ).
(Oh, and all reliable sources indicate that Islam is by far the fastest growing religion in the world. Even an organisation such as the World Christian Database says so).

I didnt excpect another kind of response from you...
First of all, majority of chinese are atheist

Second, countries like China, japan, Thailand and Mongolia werent colonised by europeans (at least not most of them), and I wasnt talking about middle easter muslim countries, but about the countries in the far east.
Another random insult, which if I wrote, zexen would ban me in a second because of ''religious intolerance'' but that only applies if a non-christian belief is insulted, but whatever. You just keep living up to those stereotypes.
And Islam is spreading due to big birth rates in families, but Christianity is spreading aong whole nations and continents, which is a long-term advantige over Islam.
