Нерелігійність у Китаї в опитуванні 2015 року
More precisely, this was a WIN/Gallup International survey, not Gallup Inc. Fieldwork took place in late 2014, and the findings were published in 2015. In the Chinese sample, 61% described themselves as “convinced atheists” and another 29% as “not a religious person,” totaling 90%; about 7% said they were religious. This is self-identification in a particular survey, not proof that all those respondents lacked spiritual practices or beliefs. Researchers have also cautioned that “atheist” and “religion” may translate and function differently in the Chinese context.
