The speed and the scale with which traditional religions in China
have been revived and new spiritual movements have emerged in
recent decades make it difficult for scholars to stay up-to-date on
the religious transformations within Chinese society. This unique
atlas presents a bird's-eye view of the religious landscape in
China today. In more than 150 full-color maps and six different
case studies, it maps the officially registered venues of China's
major religions - Buddhism, Christianity (Protestant and Catholic),
Daoism, and Islam - at the national, provincial, and county levels.
The atlas also outlines the contours of Confucianism, folk
religion, and the Mao cult. Further, it describes the main
organizations, beliefs, and rituals of China's main religions, as
well as the social and demographic characteristics of their
respective believers. Putting multiple religions side by side in
their contexts, this atlas deploys the latest qualitative,
quantitative and spatial data acquired from censuses, surveys, and
fieldwork to offer a definitive overview of religion in
contemporary China. An essential resource for all scholars and
students of religion and society in China.
