Hello my name is rtebout☃☃

I am going to go over Christianity in China wiki article. I am going over the period between 1966-1976 when religion was banned in China by Mao Zedong. This will go in wiki >"Mao Zedong, the communist leader of China banned religion until his death in 1976. "The Marxist stance toward religion denounces religion and considers a hindrance to economic growth." During the ten year period the government began to crackdown and persecute all religions. This forced the Christians to be secretive and go underground to avoid getting executed by the communist government."
