Who is the god of confucinism?

Answer 1

Confucious is the anglisized version of the Chinese name Kung-fu-tzu. Although there is no actual god in this philosophical system he and other major contributers are revered and venerated. This is a common practice in many Asian societies and is often confused by westerners as a form of worship--ancestors are often venerated in the home with alters, offerings, and other rituals. The Chinese people typically adhere to three belief systems: Confucianism,Taoism, and Buddhism. Taoism and Buddhism relate more to the supernatural realm (religious), whereas Confucianism deals primarily with social order and propriety (e.g., how one treats his/her father). The direct answer is that there is no god of Confucianism per se, just a founder whose writtings have influenced China for thousands of years.
