Let me state here, I am, presently, my missionary sisters notwithstanding, staunchly, and irrefutably opposed to religion for any number of reasons. However, this said, one is remiss if he does not acknowledge the positive influences religion has brought to a world hell bent on self destruction. I need not innumerate those here.

Your self professed educational credentials aside; rich, poor, educated, and ignorant share a need to be part of something spiritual. Man cannot, it seems, live without hope. Therein, lies the formula for the rise, and eventual dominance, of Christianity in China and perhaps, the World.
