There are many indigenous Church's in Hong Kong (that is started in Hong Kong and not come from outside), also there is ample evidence to show Traditionally Chinese believed in one God well before the introduction of Buddhism from India. But even though this may be the case, I am no-where saying you cannot enjoy the history and culture which goes back a long way but am merely putting forward a film which is controversial. I am merely saying I believe it to be the case that there is one God which means it is my opinion that you are wrong. I don't like Fosters either, but you can take that opinion of mine as though it is nothing. Why not my view on God? This movie is not pushing you to believe in one God but saying that those who think Intelligent Design is valid are kicked out of institutes.
Infact the very movie I am bringing to attention says you can believe whatever you want in the first few scenes.
Australians (whom I am one) love to make Christianity out as a conformist thing, yet in Australia Christianity is amazingly unpopular and generally frowned upon.

I cannot find one text that says the earth is flat and ofcourse there is much mockery of Chritian belief which goes to confirm that it is not conforming to be a Christian, I would argue from being one that it goes against the grain of society and if any Christian wants to engage in any conversation involving Christian ideologies they are very quickly silenced or joked about. Any other world view, even if openly hockus pockus will be tolerated and respected (even other monotheologies like Islam and Judaism).
