Religion is illegal in China, you are not allowed to bring bibles into the country, it's fine for Chinese people not in China of course. :P I for one am pro that because religion has brought nothing but trouble even in past Chinese history, it's a stupid thing when there was already confucius who did it and did it better without using religion as a backup. The problem is men's greed knows no bounds.

Freedom of religion is protected by China's constitution. Although it does have caveats relating to making sure that the practise remainds loyal to the state. ie, there are Catholics in China but they undergo rules to ensure that they don't take the religion over the state... if the state says X about abortion or condoms, than the China Catholic Church must also say X.

You can be a Catholic that belongs to the Vatican, rather than the State sanctioned version, but that offers no constitutional protection.

ah ok
