Never underestimate the ability of China to fall on its face. The only way it WON'T, will be if it becomes almost totally/officially Christian. Right, like Mexico, Nicaragua, Argentina, etc. You can't swing a dead cat in those countries without hitting 3 churches, the people are far more Christian than Americans, and that's why they are so far ahead of us economically.

I said it was necessary, but never said it was sufficient.
And I didn't say it was NECESSARY, even, for every last spot on earth, but for China, it would be...
Japan, did OK without it but now is beginning to suffer from lack of the Cross of Jesus.
We'll build on the Rock, the Solid Rock, on Jesus the Rock of Ages!
That's how we Survive, the Fearful Shock, when Loud the Tempest Rages!

Church buildings, they have, but do they actually have Christianity, are they born again, does Jesus dwell with them?
Has the Reformation hit there yet? The Enlightenment?
"Not Everyone who says unto me, Lord, Lord, will get into the Kingdom, but only He who Doeth the Will of My Father which is in Heaven."
Many of those places you mention are even anti-Semitic, how can God bless them? How did they vote on the Jerusalem Law this week, No like the US, or abstain like some euro-wimps, or YES!!!
By their fruits you shall know them, can a good tree bring forth such evil fruit?

I'd just point out they are far more Catholic. And America's 'secularism' is a product of the last 40 years. The last 40 years get to rest on the laurels of the previous 200+ years of America being a Christian nation. I won't go into the inevitable squandering of our inheritance if we don't soon realize that 'secularizing' this country is not all it's cracked up to be.
