This book explores the interaction between religion and nationalism in the Chinese societies of mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Cheng-tian Kuo analyses the dominant religions, including Chinese Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity, Islam, and folk religions, but he also goes beyond that, showing how in recent decades the Chinese state has tightened its control over religion to an unprecedented degree. Indeed, it could almost be said to have constructed a wholly new religion, Chinese Patriotism. The same period, however, has seen the growth of democratic civil religions, which could challenge the state.

“…Given this apparent ambiguity of the boundary, many analysts of modern Japan have explicitly or implicitly asked the question: Is Japan secular, or is religion still relevant? (Baker 1997;Bellah 1980;Gagné 2013;Mullins 2012;Reader and Tanabe 1998) Yet, I take issue with this very question, as it takes "religion" as a category for granted and assumes the singularity of secularity. As will become clear in the rest of this thesis, this simplistic binary analytically does not make sense in light of my interlocutors'…”
