中国不依赖宗教来约束人民是优点。中国的文化传统在根本上优于西方经宗教深刻改变后的传统。This is his assumption
not the fact.
The ONLY fact is that 宗教约束的 white people created the modern civilization, while 不依赖宗教的 Chinese did
nothing when modern civilization was initialized and
developed at its early even middle age.
Note that people may say that civilization come from getting rid of 宗教. OK, in that case, you have to
have 宗教 first in order to get rid of it.
