I'm not sure the whole "religious" thing is the best test, anyway. There are people who are "religious" about sports, about their country, about their politics- they'll kill you for those things. I liked the survey that asked people what they would kill for. There are no ideas I would kill for, or even punch someone for. That's the brand of a fanatic, imo- wanting to kill for stupid reasons. Ideas are air, vapor, farts of the mind- some smell better than others, but to kill actual people for that? Crazy, imo. And that's the difference between me, and fanatics. Your fanatics will be happy to suggest the many ways you could and should kill or hurt people for a cause. And in that sense I don't think China fairs very well. I'd expect Scandinavia and the Netherlands to be at the top of the list.
