Buddhism is a religion and Confucianism is a philosophy. A religion talks about death after life and gods. Philosophy talks about what one should do in life.

___________________________________________________________

Actually, BOTH Buddhism & Confucianism can either be religions or philosophies. The main differences between them is that Buddhism has numerous deities, whereas Confucianism only has One God. That being said, Confucian belief in God is more on par with that of the way in which a Deist would believe in Him, rather than that of a Christian or a Sikh would.

Another major difference is that while both religions are predominant in China(& in Asia in general), Confucius was from China, whereas Buddhism was imported into the country.
