Antireligious campaigns in China

Antireligious campaigns in China are policies and practices of successive Chinese polities since the late 19th century to discourage both folk and organized religion. The Qing dynasty's 1898 edict confiscated folk religion temples that were not performing state sacrifices and turned them into schools; though these confiscations were reversed after a short time, they set a precedent for subsequent antireligious campaigns.
