China's ruling Communist Party is reportedly censoring the pillars of Christianity and closing down churches that don't comply.

Reports claim the government has demanded the Ten Commandments be replaced with quotes by President Xi Jinping, and that portraits of the president, former leader Mao Zedong and other communist propaganda be used as well as part of "sinicization" to ensure citizens are loyal to the officially atheistic party or face the wrath of the regime.

“The government’s first step is to prohibit religious couplets," he said. "Then it dismantles crosses and starts to implement the ‘four requirements’ by ordering the national flag and ‘core socialist values’ to be placed in churches. Surveillance cameras to monitor believers and religious activities are then installed. The last step is to replace the Ten Commandments with Xi Jinping’s speeches."
