And we are in the United States talking on a US political website, so I would assume that when talking about religion "in general" most people here are talking about the dominant religion in the US, Christianity.
If you are familiar enough with Chinese religion and politics to offer some insight from that part of the world, that could be interesting. But you don't seem very familiar with China: you don't know any of the languages spoken there, don't know the history, don't seem to appreciate the ancient or modern non-theistic religions there, probably don't know exactly where the Silk Roads ran or why that might matter again, have no apparent awareness of the significance of Central Asia in world history and haven't displayed any knowledge of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist thought. Without that level of knowledge of this complex region, it's very hard to say what exactly China is an example of.
On the other hand, if you want to know what American atheists think, there are a few on this site you could talk to. That might give you more insight into atheism than guessing about a part of the world that is still rarely visited by Westerners and dangerous for reporters to work in.
