Many Chinese people self-identify as atheist or non-religious (around 90%+ per recent surveys like Pew and CEOWORLD), shaped by the Communist Party's official atheism and Confucian emphasis on ethics over gods. Yet millions practice folk traditions, ancestor veneration, Buddhism, or Taoism—visiting temples, using feng shui, or observing festivals—without labeling it "religion." It's often cultural spirituality blended with daily life, not organized faith.
