China rules on religion ‘relaxed’

_39669065_catholic_ap203 From BBC News: “The state-run Xinhua news agency says the rules are designed to keep up with ‘rapid socio-economic development’.

This transformation has sparked a flurry of religious activity, which human rights groups have accused the Chinese authorities of repressing.

But analysts say the wording of the new rules suggest no change in policy in what is officially an atheist country. ”
