Inside China's Jesus cult
Thousands in China are turning their back on communism in favour of obscure Christian sects, one of which worships a female Jesus - and is known to use violence to impose itself, writes Danny Vincent.
Jesus is back and she is opposed to the Chinese communist party.
The Chinese government calls the Church of Almighty God an evil cult. It's a million-strong doomsday sect that believe Jesus has returned to earth as a middle aged Chinese woman named Lightening Deng.
To ask of her whereabouts is "against the will of God", to question her preaching is "against the will of God" and to ask too many questions, is ,well "against the will of God", I am told by Samuel, a 39-year-old member and migrant worker from central China.
The group worship in secret, members never talk on mobile phones and they are banned by the Chinese government. But membership is growing.
Samuel found God in an underground church 10 years ago in his home town.
After converting to the Church of Almighty God he sold his home, gave the money to the sect and moved to Beijing to preach the word of a female Jesus, starting a new life away from his family.

The Church of Almighty God is just one of many off-shoot Christian sects across this atheist nation.
China has more Christians than communist party members. It's said that more Chinese attend Sunday mass than the whole of Europe combined.
