Atheism in China

It fascinated me how almost every Chinese that i met globally turned out to be atheist, this is not a generalization, in fact, about 80% are proclaimed agnostics/atheists. With that being said, i observed while i was there that the Chinese population seems somehow happier compared to Christian America. I remember asking one of them bus rider about how they find meaning without a religion, while i was back from the great Chinese wall. He answered, we live in the moment, we don’t care about the future nor do we care about the hereafter. Of course his answer is not applicable to all Chinese as there are people struggling there too just like anywhere else. Yet, it gave me an insight on how the biggest atheist population ever live in harmony without any religious influence.
