This assertion had been {{ fact}}-tagged for quite some time, but then the tag was removed in this edit, which added the following source:

• Fisac, Taciana (2003). "Social anomie and political discourse in contemporary China". China Today: Economic Reforms, Social Cohesion, and Collective Identities. United Kingdom: Routledge. p. 164. ISBN  0415312671. {{ cite conference}}: Unknown parameter |booktitle= ignored (|book-title= suggested) ( help); Unknown parameter |editors= ignored (|editor= suggested) ( help)

However, the page in question just consists of a 1993 quote from Zhang in which he praises Mao Zedong, and contains no discussion of atheism. The preceding page doesn't support the assertion either --- it merely mentions his ethnic group and then goes on to give the author's views on his politics. Previously the same {{ fact}} tag had been removed with the rationale "all Chinese were raised as atheists in this period" --- again, not strong enough for a BLP. cab ( talk) 07:43, 11 March 2009 (UTC) reply
