Since it took power in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party has been carrying out atheistic education throughout the country. Christianity has been designated as a tool of imperial “cultural invasion,” with Western missionaries expelled and Chinese preachers subjected to “thought reform.” All religions, including Christianity, have been regarded as “feudal superstition” and suffered severe suppression and banning. Over the past more than sixty years, The Chinese Communist Party has never ceased its persecution of religious beliefs; instead, it has step by step “legitimized” its crackdown and persecution of Christianity through legislation, and The Church of Almighty God suffered the most serious suppression.
