Best Answer

Atheism is a growing wordview in China, as it is in the Western world, but statistics are not really available. Just as Westerners often describe themselves as Christian for cultural reasons, although they do not really hold religious beliefs, so also Chinese people often describe themselves as Buddhists for cultural reasons, although they do not really hold religious beliefs. Nevertheless, most Chinese are respectful of Buddhists monks and appear to hold at least some religious beliefs.

Did Buddhist's believe in Hindu gods?

Yes,Buddha is not considered a God. Buddha is to Hinduism as Jesus is to Christianity. Gautama Buddha was born a Hindu, but tried to reform Hinduism.Buddhism has been referred to as Hinduism lite for that reason. Buddha founded Buddhism in India, but it is much more popular in China than India where Hinduism is still the dominant religion.Hindus actually only believe in one god, Brahma, but they believe that Brahma has many faces. The fact that they have names for the many faces of Brahma leads to misunderstandings and is one of the reasons for conflicts with Muslims.
