A somewhat tongue in cheek take is: China's state religion is Communism and it's state Church is the Communist Party of China. All of its leaders, officials, and people are required to study Communism and pay lip service to it, whether the believe it or not. However, no one there can take Communism too seriously, because the party's real religion is that of centralized power and submission to it: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/11/world/asia/china-student-activists.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/11/world/asia/china-student-...
