Your link from "Learn Religions" is the same as what I stated that the word "agnostic" can have two meanings because it is dependent on subjective understanding of the user. That is why as I stated in my 2nd message to have both meanings protected byTell Xi to take a long vacation!
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for aredress of grievances." 1st amendment U.S. constitution
China may be agnostic but there is no freedom of speech nor press nor the right of people to congregate nor petition their government for a redress of grievances. Without these freedoms protected by law belief in God can be taken away by the governmentwhich is atheism.

philosophy in the name of liberalism, not China. Such philosophy erodes basic forums of social
solidarity, fails to deliver common good, and the major cause of impending collapse.
"According to Deneen, liberals have purposely eroded the basic forums of social solidarity—
“family, neighborhood, association, church and religious community”—and now govern as a
minority against the demos, the popular majority. In the institutions they control, from
academia to Hollywood, they preach that the only reasonable life is one liberated from the
constraints of duty and tradition. The assumed course from adolescence to adulthood is to
learn “how to engage in ‘safe sex,’ recreational alcohol and drug use, [and] transgressive
identities . . . all preparatory to a life lived in a few global cities in which the ‘culture’ comes to
mean expensive and exclusive consumption goods.” In the process, liberals have abandoned
anyone not in the “laptop class”—mainly coastal urbanites—and have left the country’s
geographic middle hollowed out and in despair.
In Deneen’s view, the makers of this American wasteland are not just people on the left but the
country’s entire political, business, and cultural elite. “What has passed as ‘conservatism’ in the
United States for the past half-century,” he writes, “is today exposed as a movement that was
never capable of, nor fundamentally committed to, conservation in any fundamental sense.” As
a result, the problem of politics today is the crevasse that separates the powerful from the masses,
a theme that Deneen follows through canonical thinkers such as Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and
Alexis de Tocqueville.
...
In Vermeule’s view, the basis for rightful authority is not custom, charisma, or rationality, as the
German sociologist Max Weber had it, but the “objective legal and moral order” that common-good
constitutionalists are best placed to perceive. Democracy and elections, Vermeule says, have no
special claim to delivering the common good.
...
Like Deneen, Hazony, an Israeli American scholar and president of the Herzl Institute in Jerusalem,
vividly describes the hellscape produced by the liberal order and prophesizes its impending collapse."
Nevertheless, human agency is not a factor. One might as well flip a coin.This is not absolute truth but subjective and relative. Pure theocracy is absolute truth.God's way is higher than human's way. I don't dispute that.Do you really know China enough to discuss its supposedly demonic philosophy?Your English is atheistic and ignores higher spiritual logic which is beyond your limited empiric area of material conditioning. Thus your knowledge and intelligence is imperfect and transitory not absolute truth.
If so, please elaborate.
But why theocracy is not the best kind of government?
Simple, a theocracy can never learn and improve itself.
Why bother if everything good and bad could be answered with "God's willing"?The cliche simply means man proposes but God disposes. Which is absolute truth. Not that you give up individual freedom.
In short, real theocratic society is existing outside of history. It has no past and noTheocratic or absolute truth can exist in historical past and future otherwise it is not absolute truth. It will not necessarily be illogical.

For a society to learn and improve, Church and State have to Separate.That is pure secular democracy.

be agnostic.
ag·nos·tic: a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.Please try the following for more nuanced meaning of "agnostic". https://www.learnreligions.com/atheist-vs-agnostic-whats-the-difference-248040
Unless protected by constitutional law agnosticism denies the existence of absolute truth or God and is therefore imperfect and incomplete knowledge.
Chinese society is agnostic for more than 2000 years. 100 years of Marxist
does not really change Chinese agnosticism. And Chinese government is best position
to separate Church and State.
Pure secular democracy protects individual freedom by law and does not deny absolute truth or God. Marxism opposes secular democracy by forcing the individual to worship the state government which is atheism and totalitarianism aka tyranny.Whatever, agnosticism means freedom of the mind.
Chinese democracy protects individual freedom by law and does not deny absolute truth or God.
In case you haven't read it, try the article on Chinese religion with Google translate.

"Key Takeaways: Atheism and Agnosticism
Atheism is about belief or, specifically, what you don't believe.
An atheist doesn't believe in any gods.
Agnosticism is about knowledge or, specifically, about what you don't know. An agnostic doesn't know if any gods exist or not.
It is common for people to be both agnostics and atheists or agnostics and theists."
"Agnosticism is about knowledge or, specifically, about what you don't know."
If one accepts "God's way is higher than man's way, agnosticism is the only approach on
anything PUBLIC. Agnosticism is also the position of humility. Humans can never fully
understand and know God. And freedom of the mind is the result of this sense of humility
and stimulated deliberation. Basically, "We don't know enough, let us study more."
As a person belief, religion is about, first of all, faith. However, government leaders injecting
their faith and related feeling into public policy will the Separation of Church and State
difficult.
Concerning the 1st Amendment, was it meant to separate church and state?
The following is quoted from Oxford Companion to the SUPREME COURT OF
THE UNITED STATES, edited by Kermit L. Hall:
"Historical Origins of the Religion Clauses.
The evidence bearing on precisely what the First Congress intended to accomplish with the religion clauses of the *First Amendment is ambiguous. At a minimum, the Establishment Clause was directed at preventing the
newly created federal government from granting to any denomination the political and governmental privileges enjoyed in England by the established Anglican church. On the other hand, it is clear that the clause was not intended to do away with religious establishments then existing among
the new American states. It is likely that most of the framers meant only
to outlaw national religious establishments while leaving the question of state religious establishments to the political judgment of the states.
...
Accordingly, from shortly after the founding era until early in the twentieth century, church state relations in the United States were
governed by what legal historian Mark De Wolfe Howe called the "de
facto Protestant establishment." Public schools had a distinctly
Protestant flavor, with teachers leading prayers and scripture
readings from the King James Bible in their lessons. Customs like legislative prayer became widespread among the states, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter were officially recognized as holidays, and
political rhetoric made frequent reference to the Almighty."
On the other hand, there are various anti-US government religion based military groups because they think the US government is anti-religion and anti-free speech.
