The Belt and Road runs through or around countries in Asia, Africa and elsewhere that have strong religious identities, and sometimes incorporate religion into the ideology of the state or of ruling political parties. China, on the other hand, is an officially atheist state. To what extent is religion a factor in China’s deepening engagement with countries of the Global South? In this talk, I will outline a conceptual framework for answering this question, drawing on insights from an international field-based collaborative research project on the religious entanglements of the BRI. The religious factor presents different dimensions when considered at three different levels and scales: (1) the realm of nation-states and geo-politics; (2) the realm of transnational religious circulations; (3) the realm of localized community responses to Chinese infrastructure and investment projects. While each realm presents its own dynamic, it is at the local level that religious factors are most likely to have an impact on Chinese engagements.
