China Has Highest Percentage of Atheists in the World, Gallup Survey Says [View all]
From the article:
The study, which explored religious tendencies of 66,000 people in 68 countries across the world in 2017, has found that 67 percent of Chinese citizens do not believe in religion; only 9 percent identify as religious, according to The Inquirer.

The study was conducted by Gallup.
So, in this country where a clear majority are atheists, how much better is life there than in the many countries where theists are in the majority?
Well, there are concentration camps, but the Government calls then reeducation camps. It sounds better.
And in the Uighur areas, many families are being forced to host a Han Chinese personal spy to search for signs of religion and other deviant thought.
And workers rights are nearly non-existent.
And the Government controls every attempt at religious expression, including appointing priests.
And at one time, there was a strict policy regarding how many children a family could have.
And there were the millions killed as Mao imposed his own version of a workers paradise free from theism.
Feel free to add to this list of accomplishments.

OP
So you're saying anecdotal experience might not be statistically significant?
