Legalism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that emphasizes strict adherence to laws and harsh punishments for those who violate them. Today, Legalism as a formal philosophical system is not widely followed, as it has been largely overshadowed by other schools of thought such as Confucianism and Taoism. However, some principles of Legalism, such as the importance of rule of Law and Order, may still influence modern governance and legal systems in China and other countries. It is difficult to quantify the exact number of people who adhere to Legalism today, as it is not a widely practiced or recognized belief system in the same way as major world religions.
India has a high percentage of people who follow Hinduism as their religion.
Legalism in ancient China emphasized strict adherence to laws and regulations enforced by a strong central government. Rituals associated with Legalism focused on promoting obedience, societal order, and loyalty to the state through elaborate ceremonies and strict enforcement of laws, with an emphasis on punishment for those who disobeyed. Legalist rituals were designed to instill fear and loyalty in the population, reinforcing the authority of the ruler and maintaining social control.
Approximately 84% of the world's population identifies with a religious group, according to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center. This translates to about 6.8 billion people worldwide.
Iraq is predominantly a Muslim country, so the majority of its population worships Allah, the God of Islam. However, there are also minority groups in Iraq that follow different religions such as Christianity, Yazidism, and Mandaeism, each with their own deities and beliefs.
A benefit of having freedom of religion is that people can choose what religion to follow without fear of being persecuted. Also, people have to learn to accept that religion because there is nothing they can do about it. If we didn't have freedom of religion you wouldn't be asking this question because you'd know the answer! Life would be boring, except of course from the seeking out of people who refuse to follow the chosen religion. There are many examples of what happens without freedom of religion in History, and still today. Mary Queen of Scots and Lady Jane Grey (the Nine Days Queen) are just two examples out of many.
