I have found this work "Changing Beliefs in Urban China 1995-2005".
There is an interesting power-point presentation which shows the
complicate panorama to make religious statistics in China.

Anyway, there is one question:
Did you worship the following religious figures/powers in the past year?

Buddha/ Bodhisattvas  23.1%     
God of Fortune 18.4%
God/Jesus 4.2%
Lord of Guan 3.7%
Supreme Lord of Laozi 2.2%
Others 5.9%


it sounds more accurate, perhaps.

best regards,
