Fenggang Yang (Chinese: 杨凤岗; born 1962) is professor of sociology and founding director of the Center on Religion and Chinese Society at Purdue University. He was elected and served as the president of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion in 2014–15, the first Chinese American, nonwhite president since the founding of the association in 1949.[1] He is also the founding president of the East Asian Society for the Scientific Study of Religion in 2018–2020.[2] He has been listed in the Marquis' Who's Who in America since 2002. Fenggang Yang is openly Christian[3] and has spoken critically and frequently in international media about China's lack of religious freedom.[4][5] His theories based on the social scientific methods have been criticized as biased in favor of Christianity by many other scholars of Chinese religion who are in religious studies, anthropology or sinology.[6] He is known for his theory of a triple "religious market" in China.[6]
