I feel (uneducated as fuck opinion) that religion during the Qing was mostly defined by the importation of Christianity, and the subsequent backlash leading to the Taiping revolt. Maybe Qing isn't the best example as a model for Chinese historical dynamics of religion's relation to the state. One thing I do recall though is that Buddhism used to be persecuted as a foreign religion just like Christianity is today

Depended on if a religion was the one favored by the court. Daoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity (during Matteo Ricci and then the subsequent backlash) would lead to an heavy investment in the religion within China. For example Wu Zetian spent quite mightly on great works of Buddhism within China. Buddhism and Christanity where also a special case, in that they spread based upon conflict since they were a unitarian religion. If the people and therefore the state were having a hard time the surge of Buddhism and later Christianity were an expected byproduct.

China wasn't religious per say. It was more spiritualist? There was no formal religion or religion head, but there were competing ideologies with political implications. Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucian all waxed and waned, sometimes quite violently purged. I would say the most enduring part of Chinese religion was ancestor veneration and belief (like Shinto and most pagans) in a variety of supernatural entities comprising heaven, rather than one pantheon of gods. These types of belief structures are very fluid, because it's easy to acknowledge more or other gods, and there's no need to impose the belief structure on localized regions, they just worship more minor supernatural entities in the endless sea of them.

To my knowledge Taoism fell off from official court religion by the Tang and never really recovered. Buddhism was extensively used as tax evasion and got violently purged at one point and didn't really recover. Christianity would be a big big deal when it started spreading, culminating in the Taiping Rebellion during the Qing. It also didn't recover after they had thoroughly stabbed most of its adherents. Confucianism therefore won the test of time until Mao's cultural revolution attempted to purge ancestor veneration and it's archaic social structures.

Criticized for replacing the pope with the bible.....

Still pondering how that could be construed as anything but a good move.

>>3317640
Because the Bible is not intended as a substitute for the Spirit of Truth, and produces a relativist cacophony of countless sects without him. Since the Pope is a substitute for the Spirit of Truth, replacing him with another substitute doesn't actually fix the problem of not having the Spirit of Truth

Yes, I suppose if your a lost soul, bereft of the Holy Spirit by choice, a child molester is your next best option.
