Are east asians the least "religious" people?

[Pascoal]

One thing i have noticed is that even many white atheists seems to care pretty much about religion(or atleast were religious in some period of their lives), meanwhile east asians don't give a shit about it, i have noticed that there is something in East Asian culture that seems more "rational" than "emotional", even Scandinavians are very emotional people in comparison to East Asians.

Somehow this correlates with both IQ and cranial capacity maps.

The most secular and feminist oriented, but not equal to being the most atheistic, atheism is also a religion, secularism has a merit that is not allowing a single prophet to change the whole faith system, and we do not believe in the prophets as the founders of religion. Rather, a certain amount of naturalism always mitigates the man-made creeds into historical references, depriving the strong theocratic persuation of the churchs. The Middle Way-中庸 is one example of such naturalism. But it its true that modern western civilization is shallow especially their communist and capitalist ideologies, under the scopes of which people are tended to misinterprete east asian cultures. I admit that mainstream chinese people are as stupid as western liberals, yet the west fails to see this and takes East Asia as dual extremes of either savages or superior races. In fact, communism and capitalism were like tailored to suit the people which they take for inferior people, you do not need to be rational to a lower subject, you will be totally emotional and material with them, even to the point of self-sacrifice or total indifference.

How can this view be reasonable, don`t you see nazism was also a part of zionism itself and mixed with occultic elitism. Western elitism leads to all self-justified flatteries and prejudices, just totally avoid rational studies, this just shows the hypocrisy of the west that most of western people, either flatterers or haters are not genuinely interested in the eastern world, rather under the influence of elitism, they use exotique cultures as a kind of peripheral, decorational subjects in their internal dialogues. Most asian people can not see this, therefore asian people are still far from being genuinely more rational than the west at all, since they are easily beguiled by the western opinions. Rationalism is a devine human quality, not the same with science at all, science is but a mimick clown of this profound grace, not even close, just a dabbling mimick like a monkey imitating humans. The west tries to promote their science as the paramount human achievement but not their rational patterns, or maybe the rational patterns can not be taught and copied at all.

yes they are, while you are at it read about Buddhism, you will understand why

The character of human rationalism is always about the blind multitude and rational sparkles interspersed here and there, like stars in the sky, we have to admit the immensity of ignorance while appreciate each sparkle of rationalism. Buddhism is as rational as a human should be not that Buddhism renders us more or less rational than anyone else, in acknowledging this truth I dare to call myself one of these tiny stars of chinese people and the world.

It differs per country as East Asia isn't a singular country but one of the most populated regions in the world with different ethnicities, and more importantly, cultures. It'll be different per cultural group, but we can look at the averages. Yes, the East Asian sphere is considered "less religious" in general as compared to other regions in the world such as Southeast Asia (read: Indonesia), Latin America, the Middle East, Southern Europe...you get the point.

The biggest religions would be forms of Buddhism, Christianity, Shamanism, Islam etc. and these religions are often but not always tied to an ethnic or cultural group. Islam being predominant in Western China, and different Shamanist religions in Siberian regions and the Koreas. There's also Christianity forming a significant group in Korea and even Japan and so on so forth. Not to forget, BUDDHISM. This is where it gets complicated. China and Mongolia are actually really Buddhist (although the percentages also reflect people who call themselves buddhists yet are not practicing the religion). Korea and Japan also have their Buddhist population and roots. Buddhism plays quite a significant role in the group of East Asians that aren't practicing Buddhists. This is because Buddhism - even though less people practice it now - is deeply rooted in many East Asian cultures. Languages have vocabulary from Buddhists times, cultural values are often rooted in Buddhism and other cultural elements can be traced back to era's when Buddhism truly ruled their respective regions. That's when we can introduce the following prompt: are East Asians - even if they aren't practicing believers - truly the least religious people when their cultures are rooted in Buddhist and Shamanist religions? I'll stop right there for now as most people would consider that philosophical pondering. Religion is not a linear or binary term so it's hard to define. I'd say that East Asia is less religious than some certain regions in the world, but not necessarily least religious considering their respective cultures and the religious traces those cultures consist of.

Yes, that's why they are able to keep up with or even surpass other civilizations.

Most East Asians are aetheists

I don't think east asians are the most feminist oriented tho.
