Country chapter updated 11 April 2025 · retrieved September 5, 2026. Its assessments are not confirmation of current law or a prediction about your circumstances.
Children’s education
There are no faith-based primary or secondary schools nor religious education for primary or secondary school children. The teaching of atheism in schools is mandatory.
Reproductive rights
Abortion is legal and available throughout the country, but has historically been used as a means of social control. Forced abortions were common during the one-child policy era and were used overwhelmingly on female fetuses. Newborn baby girls were also killed or left to die, such was the societal pressure to have a son to continue the traditional family line. As China now seeks to reverse this policy and increase the birth rate, the government released guidelines in 2022 which aim to actively reduce the rate of abortions for non-medical reasons. This has been received by many as another threat of state restrictions on women’s reproductive health rights. and while same-sex unions are not legally recognized, the government has previously acknowledged that many people in the country wished to see same-sex marriage made legal. …
Constitution and government
The Constitution states that citizens have “freedom of religious belief.” This is not protected in practice. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), to which almost all holders of public office belong, requires its members to be atheists. CCP members must renounce any faith and can be expelled based on practicing religion.

Which China findings should I check before acting?
Rage 2 Rebuild highlights 4 published findings for a partner still believes in China. Our selection connects the 11 April 2025 chapter with partnership agreements, family-law context and shared parenting. Each quote is separate from our practical question. It identifies something to investigate, not a conclusion about your household.
Some concerns about children's right to specifically freedom of religion or belief
The source finding concerns education or children. National arrangements and the policy of one school are not interchangeable.
A question to verify: What does the named school currently require, what alternative exists, and who is responsible for the decision?
Government authorities push a socially conservative, religiously or ideologically inspired agenda, without regard to the rights of those with progressive views
The report describes social or institutional pressure. That context matters, but it cannot predict the response of one family or community.
A question to verify: Who would learn about the decision, and what essential support could change if that happened?
It is illegal to register an explicitly Humanist, atheist, secularist or other non-religious NGO or other human rights organization, or such groups are persecuted by authorities
The finding concerns association or organizing. It does not verify an individual support group, its privacy practices or whether it is active.
A question to verify: Who runs the group now, what information becomes visible, and what rules apply to participation?
Quasi-divine veneration of a ruling elite is enforced, or a single-party regime holds uncontested power, subject to severe punishment
This is a published assessment of institutions, not an individual outcome or a current legal determination.
A question to verify: Which part of this assessment applies to the actual decision, and what still needs current local verification?
What if my partner still believes and I do not?
For a partner still believes in China, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Choose one household agreement that needs an explicit conversation. The two starting points below address partnership agreements, family-law context and shared parenting. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Make the hidden agreements visible
Attendance, money, food, religious objects, family visits, intimacy and raising children may all carry assumptions that were never discussed. List the agreements that have changed and the ones that still work. A disagreement about a ritual may also involve belonging, identity or fear about the relationship’s future.
Protect consent on both sides
Neither partner should have to perform belief, accept unwanted religious activity or be mocked into changing a worldview. A workable conversation distinguishes a request, an invitation and a requirement. It also leaves room for a genuine no.

How did religious identity change in China?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s China table shows 87.4% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 89.6% in 2020, using Pew’s all-age population estimates. The seven categories describe religious identity, not how many individuals left religion or experienced harm. Rounded population changes cannot predict acceptance, guilt, safety or a support outcome.
| Identity | 2010 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian | 2.3% | 1.8% | -0.5 pp |
| Muslim | 1.5% | 1.8% | +0.3 pp |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 87.4% | 89.6% | +2.2 pp |
| Buddhist | 5.6% | 3.7% | -1.9 pp |
| Hindu | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Jewish | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Other religions | 3.1% | 3.0% | -0.1 pp |
“Other religions” combines traditions that cannot be analyzed separately here. A “less than” input stays an inequality; a change involving it is not calculated. Rounding and demographic processes matter. Nationality does not establish anyone’s beliefs.
