Confucianism: This religion was named after its founder , Confucius (551,479 BC), which has origins in China.

Some estimates show that there are about 5 to 6 million people following this religion.

3 Facts About Confucianism

1) A very important part of Confucianism is ‘filial piety,’ which involves both the living and the deceased , even those who are distant relatives and ancestors. The term ‘filial’ actually means ‘of the child’ and corresponded to the kind of respect that a child possesses. Often times, it is often compared to the respect that a son would show for his parents. This sort of relationship is also expressed through the bonds of Ruler to Subject, Father to Son, Husband to Wife, Elder Brother to Younger Brother, as well as Friend to Friend.

2) A temple that is devoted to the memory of Confucius, as well as the sages and philosophers who practice the religion is called a Temple of Confucius or a Confucian temple. The largest and oldest Temple of Confucius is located in the hometown of Confucius, which is now present-day Oufu in the Shandong Province. The temple was established in 478 BC, one year following the death of Confucius. Over the course of more than 2,000 years, the temple has expanded several different times.

3) Confucianism is sometimes considered a state religion of some countries in East Asia, mostly because the government actively promotes the values of Confucius.

Hinduism: The origins of Hinduism are considered linked to the indigenous religion of India and have evolved over the course of 900 million years. This belief system relies on a system of gods and goddesses with One Supreme Reality (also known as Brahman).

They include: the Brahmins (teachers and priests), the Kshatriyas (warriors, nobles, and kings), the Vaishyas (farmers, merchants, and businessmen), and the Shudras (servants and laborers)
