More practicing Catholics in China than in Italy

There are more Muslims in China than in the whole of Europe. There are more practising Protestants than in Britain. There are more practising Catholics in China than in Italy, and an estimated 100 million or more people who consider themselves Buddhists.

Tony Blair writes “I was in a province of China recently where I met the governor – a Muslim – who openly asked about, and was interested in, my Faith Foundation activities. Official Chinese surveys show that nearly one in three Chinese describe themselves as religious. This is not where they were 30 years ago.”
