Secularization theory has predicted that religion is on a downward slide into increasing irrelevance. Nonetheless, there appears to have been a religious revival in the Peoples Republic of China. Is this increase in religious belief and practice as evidenced by the gray and black market religious associations discussed in Fenggang Yang (2006) and Koesel (2014) merely a temporary bump on the road to a more secular society, or does it present a significant challenge to secularization theory? What is the future of religion in China? Additionally, what role might the state play in determining what religious path China takes? [An alternative thesis could examine this question with respect to North Korea, thinking about the growth of Christianity in South Korea.]
