However communists are inherently atheist, they fear religion as a potential threat. People might unite and stand against their Dictatorship. That's why you don't have the right to assemble.
In addition to the above:
The 'official' Christian Church of China is tolerated by the Chinese authorities, but it is heavily monitored and controlled by the communist state.
In addition to this Church there are many thousands of 'house churches' where groups of Christians meet in each others' homes. These Christians suffer great persecution by the authorities, and many church leaders have been rounded up, imprisoned and even tortured and executed for their faith. A strong stomach is needed to read Brother Yun's book 'Heavenly Man' where he tells of his experiences as one of these house church leaders.
As well as house churches thre are also a great number of Christians who worship and study scripture alone at home for fear of persecution.
Although actual numbers of Christians is difficult to obtain accurately because of a degree of secrecy surrounding church membership, recent surveys have suggested that there are at least 100 million Christians in China and that figure is growing exponentially. Some have extrapolated figures which suggest that if present growth is allowed to continue unabated, China could be a majority Christian country within 20 years.
