Christianity In Taiwan
According to figures given by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Christians which include Protestants, Catholics, Mormons, and non-denominational Christians make up a total of 4.5% of the population of Taiwan. Presbyterianism has played an important role in Taiwan's politics, with the Presbyterian Church supporting Taiwan's democratization movement. And although Christianity is a minority religion in Taiwan, four of its five presidents since the ROC takeover have been Christian (Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo, and Ma Ying-Jiu and Lee Teng-hui ).

Famous quotes containing the word christianity:
“In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
