They were extremely Catholic, which is how they got so much support from foreigners in Western organizations and governments.
Absent that, yeah, the KMT would have been paste very early on. But they were inundated with guns and money for much of the 1930s and 40s
I think you’re getting them confused with South Vietnam. The only leading figure who was unquestionably Christian was Chiang Kai Shek’s wife. On the other hand you have the Muslim Ma Clique, who towards the end was the last KMT holdout.

~ Sun Yat-Sen, the founder of the Koumintang, during a speaking event in San Francisco in 1911
If he had said that in Chinese to a Chinese audience then he would’ve been hanged and China would be run by Yuan Shikai III or something right now.
China has a Christian population of around 23M even now. Taiwan has another million. And missionaries had been plying their trade, particularly in the coastal cities, for centuries prior. Famously so, as Christian theology sparked the Tiaping Rebellion of the 1850s. You’re not going to get hanged for this in China. But then this is in a country where one could viably call oneself a Confucian and a Christian without significant cognitive dissonance.
I was regretably one of them. Christianity was rightfully despised as a tool of control for colonial drug cartels. Sun Yat Sen’s own brother was disgusted by him being baptized. Being sort of but not really religious has always been common in China. Openly claiming that he wanted to Christianize China would trigger revulsion from the vast majority of the population even in the modern day, let alone the 1900s.
Confucianism is not a religion.

Fuck off debate pervert. I’m not interested in whatever half assed attempt at a comeback this is.
Christianity’s main purpose being the justification of western colonial control isn’t exactly some obscure lore.
My guy, you want to come in here and pretend Christianity = Drug Dealer, then get offended when I ask the price of a dime bag?
Who is the debate bro?
Again, go back and revisit the Taiping Rebellion.
Christianity’s main purpose is to coup with mortality.
