1. I've heard that Taipeng rebellion are all christian, (And their goal is to make Christian state in China) did they accept non-christian memberships
2. Their ideology is to oust Qing dynasty (Just like many other rebels exists in that era including factions that will become modern day Triads), what are the accepted ethnicity? Is it Han-exclusive just like the Triads?
3. What church of Christianity do they belong? Do the modern christian theologist view them as heretic?
4. Did they consider their cause a crusade. do they earn international support?
5. When did the Taipeng completely suppressed? The Fall of 'Heavenly Kingdom' did NOT eliminate them, instead it created bands of marauders raiding Northern Mekhong subcontinents (Especially the place now called Laos and Vietnam). these marauders attacked French Indochine holdings as well as targetted several Laotian city states (Including Luang Prabang, by then vassals to either Viet nations, China, or Siam). their attacking styles including desecrations of Buddhist Wats, Monasteries, and village reliquaries, village sacking (and victim mutilations) ... pretty much like what will the Chaos warbands of the far future will do on any remote Imperial worlds.
Siam did 'experiment' their modern army (just like ones seen in Zulu movie) and fought them for political reasons--to 'claim' these city states before France do. while these marauders were Christian, SIamese authorities mistook them with muslim 'Hui' (so called them the 'Haw', which it might be either Cantonese or Tiechiw words for them) maybe because they never seen the real 'hui' before. too bad they failed because the lack of reliable logistics, jungle diseases, and, much like 'Indian Wars' in the united states, the lack of repeating firearms (These Marauders were analogy to the Native Americans in the old west, while Siamese troops were much like 'Federal Troops') so the Siege of Xiang Kam ended in the same way as Battle of Little Bighorn.
4. Did the Qing authorities set these marauders loose against the French to the south?

Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
No the rebels were not all christian. It was a multi ethnic assembly, whilst Xuiquan (Spelling?) declared that he was brother of Christ the non christian native population and others took up arms in support.
