| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Using data from several Chinese national and cross-national public opinion surveys conducted between 1992 and 2008, this article proposes new ways to measure religiosity in China by separating institutional religiosity from diffused religiosity. The findings show that while institutional religiosity is exceptionally low in China, diffused religiosity is surprisingly high, increasing rapidly between the early 1990s and late 2000s. Furthermore, this latter group promotes regime support and political and economic efficacies. The article concludes by pointing out the importance of using multiple measurements of religiosity in future comparative research |
