While this appears to be a policy of tolerance, it is nothing but a crude attempt to exploit religion and transmute churches into another arm of the state propaganda apparatus. These state churches reek of the government's attempts to mold them into tools to maintain support for their regime. Their names and ideologies drip with the official mix of nationalism and support for the Communist party's authority.

...start with medicine. In 1928 the young Scottish researcher Alexander Fleming sloppily left a lab dish growing bacteria on a bench when he went on vacation. It got contaminated with a Penicillium mold spore, and when he returned, he noticed that the mold seemed to stop the growth of the germs. His serendipitous discovery would eventually save more lives than were lost in all the century's wars combined...
