Religious Beliefs in China

Take out country as an example. China differs greatly from European countries or the ones in West Asia in terms of the religious landscape. China has never had any state religious beliefs or one that dominated this land. From the emergence of primitive religions, the local Taoism, then to the introduction of Buddism and Islam abroad, China has always been a ground where multiple religious beliefs co-exist and where various gods are worshipped. During their circulation in China, each belief has been integrated with Chinese culture and has learned from and absorbed other religious beliefs. This is especially true for Buddhism. The Chinese culture has a strong power to integrate other beliefs. Almost all feudal rulers allowed the circulation of religious beliefs, even if they didn’t believe in any specific one, as long as those beliefs did not put their ruling in peril. Admittedly, sometimes certain emperors tried to eradicate a certain belief, however, those cases were rare and neglectable.

The Chinese culture has a strong powerability to integrate other beliefs.

Just want to clarify - Do you think that the culture is strong enough to cause the religions to change themselves for the culture, or that the culture itself has flexibility for several beliefs?

This sentence would imply the latter.

A better word would be assimilate: The Chinese culture has a strong ability to assimilate religious beliefs into its culture.

Neglectable is a rarely used word which I (personally) wouldn't advise here. Perhaps insignificant?
