 note = {The transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong to China in 1997 marked
the end of Britain colonial rule and the establishment of Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region (HKSAR). While the handover is widely considered a watershed
in the political and social development of Hong Kong, there has been little research
on its effects on religious lives. From the perspective of church-state relations,
I argue how the British Hong Kong government and Hong Kong SAR government
have adopted different approaches towards religions and how they can
be understood in the larger contexts of colonization and decolonization experienced
by Hong Kong before and after its handover. I argue that church-state relations
in Hong Kong have changed over the past decade, presenting some challenges
to Christianity on the one hand and opportunities for the growth of Buddhism,
Taoism, and other folk religions on the other., 多文化社会研究, 4, pp.251-274; 2018},
