Communist authorities in China have banished religious teachings that fail to teach to believers "socialism and [Chinese Communist Party] directives and [instill] in them the love of the party and socialism."
A report affirms what many outsiders thought about the repressive regime on the mainland, and comes from the Bitter Winter online magazine that reports on China.
"It is necessary to guide the religious circles to deeply and systematically study the Party’s religious work theories, principles and policies," the party leaders have insisted.
People also should understand that non-sinicized religion simply is part of "illegal religious activities."

The report explained pastors of the Three-Self Church, which is authorized by the Communist Party and expected to teach Communism, "have been requested to study new directives on the sinicization of religion."
The instructions come from Wang Zuo’an, who is deputy minister of the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee of the CCP and the director of the State Administration of Religious Affairs.
The directives were published on March 21, 2022, in the "Study Times," the organ of the Party School of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.
"Pastors were clearly told that this is not just a theoretical article, but the directives should be faithfully studied and implemented," the report confirmed.
