Chicoms have a religious paranoia problem

Chinese Police Detain Prominent Pastor and Over 100 Protestants

The detention of one of China’s most prominent pastors and over 100 congregants signals the government’s growing crackdown on unofficial worship.
China's government tends to see religion as a competing ideology.  While there is some truth to that with Islam which tends to blend religion with government institutions when it is a dominant force in a country, Christians have always from the beginning separated the two.  Which is not to say there have not been Christian theocracies, but to those who study Christ's teaching, it is pretty clear that he was not trying to overthrow the Roman empire which was the dominant power at the time.  "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's".  It is probably asking too much of the Chicom leadership to understand the meaning of this.
