The government in China deliberately murdered the equivalent of Sweden's 9.4 million population - -and then did it 4 more times just to be sure -- during one two year period in the late 1950's.

If you want to call that "doing fine," I guess you're free to do so. But the 54 million who died in China didn't think so.

I am talking more about the huge non-christian populations in China & India. No question the communist government was and still is brutal against human rights.

Both countries combined have population greater than all Christians of the world combined, and people in both countries are currently progressing rapidly. Historically speaking these two countries had the world’s largest GDP’s for over thousand years.

Again I am not trying to talk down Christians. I think Christianity is a very fine religion, one of the best. The post I was replying to implied that you must be a Christian in order to progress peace and prosperity.
