The Chinese are a very materialistic people. They think that money is the way to a comfortable life. The Chinese are a very superstitious people. They subscribe to several beliefs such as Buddhism, Taoism and geomancy. They view Christianity as the foreigners' religion.
Chinese parents like to be honoured.
One of their main contentions against Christianity concerns ancestral worship. In China, most of the people are atheists and believe firmly in evolution. Such atheistic leanings are much stronger in the mainland Chinese than the overseas Chinese. We find often that the hearts of the overseas Chinese are hardened against the gospel.
