What are the key points of faith in Confucianism?

In: Confucianism [Edit categories]

Answer:

Well, Confucianism didn't really start out as a religion as much as it was a form of government. Confucianism is somewhat similar to communism. A raise in neo-confucianism is what lead to the communism in China today. Confucianism basically teaches that everything has it's correct place within the fabric of reality. It also teaches that one must govern their subjects by example, not by force of law. It teaches that if one sets a good example, others will follow. Confucianism wasn't really a religion but over the years it turned into somewhat of a quasi-religious practice. This practice is somewhat in antithesis to Taoism (pronounced Dowism) which teaches everything should act in accordance with it's nature.
