If you read the article, one of the first sentences has this to say about China:

_When analyzing the WIN/Gallup International polls' data, China is the least religious country. Less than 10% of residents stated that they feel religious in this nation, and over 60% are "convinced atheists." _

Yeah I saw they mentioned it a few times, I'm just surprised they left it out of their own comparions. Because I would indeed imagine it's the least religous overall.

Of course in China a lot of religion is hidden because it's unwanted by the CCP. It was the same in Russia during Soviet rule but you can see the opposite happening now (very strict adherence to religious and traditional morals).
