A good God for the Future

OK, am listening to the Sox on the radio but am reading of course. I'm happy to hear religion is back, according to The Economist via US News, but just to clarify:

We're not saying God is good; we're not saying God is bad.

But some hope here, the real kind, the tested kind:

The rise of Christianity in China may be one of the most fundamental facts about the 21st century. This was an atheist country, an officially atheist country. Now it has about 100 million Christians. And many of the sorts of people who are attracted to Christianity are . . . entrepreneurial, business, successful, educated, professional people, scientists, all of that. They're all flocking to Christianity because they see Christianity as a very modern thing, a very go-ahead thing. Atheism they associate with the old, discredited Maoist regime, where everyone was very poor and hungry. They see Christianity as the next big thing, a way of making themselves successful and the country powerful.

Christianity is counterculture now in this country too--we are not cool. But we may win the day yet. And that's a good. A religion of love, a religion of life, a humble religion of hard work and earned reward, day by day. (Am I becoming a Protestant?:)
