According to Fox News, the survey discovered the word 'Bible' produces more than 17 million results.

However, 'Quotations of Chairman Mao'-a text known in the West as 'The Little Red Book' only had 60,000 results.

The 'Quotations' book contains excerpts from speeches and writings of Mao Zedong, the former leader of the Communist Party in China, the report said.

The word 'God' received more than 165 million mentions on Weibo, which is more than 18 times the searches for 'Mao Zedong'.

The words 'Christian Congregation' appeared more than 41.8 million times, but the 'Communist Party' only got 5.3 million results.

When it comes to holidays, Christmas appeared nearly 150 million times, while Chinese National Day only got 50 million mentions, the report added.
