China isn't atheist. They primarily are Buddhists and various forms of Shinto (generally classified as 'folk religions' by the Western world). Shinto, although it is a Japanese word, is actually a religion that exists in many parts of the world, including the United States. Most people call this religion a 'folk religion' sooner or later.
There are Christians in China, but they have to stay hidden to avoid persecution.
Islam believes in God, meaning the same God as the Jews and as many Christians. Like the Jews, they do not recognize Christ as a god or as the Son of God. If anything, Christ was a great teacher, but not the Son of God.
Islam has its fundamentalists like any religion. So do Jews. Unfortunately, cruel dictators wield power in the name of Islam, corrupting what this religion is, and use it to push their wars and hatred of anything not Islam abroad.
Both Protestants and Catholics have caused problems, and both have had their successes. As always, there are those that push their own agendas in the name of some religion, using it to masquerade what they are doing. These are the ones that cause the most problems in any society. The liars. The deceivers. Those that follow the pattern of Satan (using the character as described in the Bible) or the pattern of puffed up pride among men (as described in the Bible).

Yet you do. You stand up for the Church of No God.
I have No Idea if there are 'Gods' or 'No Gods'. I have No Idea if there IS or IS NOT an Afterlife. I don't waste my time debating about it. None of us know.
I concern myself with THIS life. This Reality.

Good God, I wish you would stop following me around.
Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles, they are not elementary particles. Refer to the standard model of particle physics if you have to.
Energy and matter are interchangeable. Current thought in fact, is that matter is actually nothing more than oscillations in energy fields.
Electrons are only one type of lepton. There is in fact an entire family of leptons in the standard model of particle physics.
The Higgs boson field is what gives mass to all other particles. In that sense, the Higgs field is what holds the universe together, aka earning it it's name the God particle.

A consensus, however, is not a proof, nor is there a proof of a consensus. You cannot speak for others. You can only speak for you.

Okay. Fine. Then you are quite properly an atheist.

No, China has many religions, the prevalent ones being Buddhism, Daoism, and Shinto. Shinto is often considered a 'folk religion' is not counted as a religion, but it is. False authority fallacy.

I don't follow anyone around. Persecution complex.
That's what I said. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Define 'elementary particle'. A boson? What's a boson made of?
Already have. That's why I corrected you.
In certain ways, yes.
I've heard this theory. The trouble with it is, energy is not a field.
Never said otherwise. I simply said electrons are a lepton.
Yes. So?
This is the a theory behind the Higgs boson. It is, however, only a theory. Currently there is no way to test it. A boson is not a field. It's a particle.
If a Higgs boson holds the Universe together, what holds the Higgs boson together? How about any lepton, like a neutrino or an electron? How about quarks in all their varieties?
look chap, you really should just take a particle physics class instead of asking me these questions.
In physics, an elementary particle is a particle which has no structure, aka it is not composed of smaller particles.
Neutrons and protons are not subatomic particles. They have structure which is composed of quarks. To the best of our knowledge, quarks, leptons, bosons are fundamental elementary particles which cannot be divided into smaller particles.
Energy does exist as fields, aka Higgs fields, electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields. I recommend you enroll in physics 101 if this sounds unfamiliar to you.

katzgar is a total piece of shit for even starting a thread such as this.

No, you just can't answer these questions.
That was once thought of the atom. See the meaning of 'atom'.
Yes they are.
So?
So far. Once the atom itself was thought of as such. Once elements themselves were though of as such, even back to the days when everything was thought to made of fire, water, air, spirit, and earth. I suggest you study the history of what was once considered the 'ultimate constituents of matter'. It's actually an entertaining story, as are most parts of the history of science. You see, I don't just study science, I also study the history of how theories came to be and how they were tested for their null hypothesis. It's also an interesting study on the various models that these theories use.
Remember what we 'know' of atoms and their particles is a model, nothing more. It could all change tomorrow. Theories of science have been falsified before, you know.
No. Energy is not a field. Gravity is not energy. It is a force. Light, which is energy, has no field (according to our current model).
Lame. You couldn't come up with a better insult than that?
You have already made several important mistakes in quantum physics. This is not unusual, most people never even get as far as you have with it.

truth? you sound like cultsmasher, what truth?
The truth is that like Europe AMerica is increasingly Post Christian....which might have a lot to do with the collapse of the West.
We need to think about this...investigate this.
ORGANIZED RELIGION =/= BELIEF IN GOD.
THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF AMERICANS CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN GOD.
CHOKE ON IT, LEFTIDIOTS.
The highest level of belief (87%) comes from a simple yes/no question, "Do you believe in God?" which Gallup last asked in 2017.
Belief drops to 79% when respondents are given three options, one being God is something they believe in. The rest are either not sure whether they believe in God or firmly say they do not believe in God.

LESS THAN 4% OF AMERICANS IDENTIFY AS ATHEISTS.
