As a native Chinese, I generally find this kind of articles to be funny. With a master degree in computer science, I would consider myself to be well educated. During my entire education, no one told me to not to be religious. In fact, "religious freedom" was literally written in our textbooks. And we are educated to respect other people's religion. I, and many other well-educated Chinese people, am not religious, simply because we don't find them convincing. I know many religious people. And I have nothing good to say about them. They are generally less educated, selfish and double-standard. They blame everything bad happened to them, which usually are their own fault, on other (non-religious) people. They credit everything good, which are usually help received from non-religious people, to god. I wouldn't say they are stupid, because they are smart enough to use their religion for their own personal gain. I'm not saying religious people or religion in general are bad. I'm sure they are not in your part of the world. I'm sure the religious people you known even contribute positively to the society. But that's the pattern here in China, through out the history. I understand the need for religions. They are very effective tools for keeping a huge portion of population, usually less educated, in check. I'm not a fan of the CCP. But I hate the prospective of replacing it with any religion ruled by stupider people.
