Currently, there are two branches of taoism in religious practise (which is different from the study or school of tao philosofy). There are Quanzhen(All-Purity) and Zhengyi(Orthodoxy,also call Tianshi Dao, which means the Dao of Master-Heaven).

They differ slightly in religious believe. Taoists of Quanzhen are more or less like the monks of Buddhism. They cannot marry or eat meat and live in temples. The Zhengyi Taoist are always married and live in their homes.

As for the scholars studying the dao philosophy, they may have different opinions from each other.
