ادیان عامیانه چینی یا ادیان سنتی چینی که گاه شِنیسم نامیده می‌شود(pinyin: Shénjiào) مجموعه‌ای از ادیان قبیله‌ای سنتی قوم هان در چین هستند. ادیان عامیانه چینی در اصل به پرستش شِن (shén-الوهیت-ارواح-آگاهی) می‌پردازد که می‌تواند خدایان طبیعت، خدایان مدنی، و خدایان محافظ باشد.

Definitely valuable for studying Eastern religion; however, the style and structure often confuses the reader.
