Why do some people not consider Confucianism as a religion?
Confucianism is not a religion, but rather a philosophy. It deals with many things that might be considered religious, such as morality, but has no particular insights about a deity, nor is religion required to exercise morality. There does, however, exist a continuing debate whether or not Confucianism can be considered a religion. The answer depends largely on one's definition of "religion".

Where did the religion Confucianism come from?
Answer 1: Confucianism started-out not as a religion, but as a Chinese set of ethical and philosophical beliefs, based on the work and writings of a Chinese philosopher named "Confucius," who lived from around 551 BC to around 479 BC.Under the Han Dynasty, from 206BC to 220AD, Confucianism took on some both metaphysical and cosmological elements, and so became more at least akin to an actual religion; plus, Confucious, himself, was a believer in Chinese folk religion, which affected his writings. However, in its purest form, Confucianism is humanistic and non-theistic, and so involves no supernatural being or diety.For many centuries, Confucianism (or it, mixed with Buddhism and/or Taoism) was the official ideology of the Chinese state; that is, until 1912 and the establishment of the Republic of China. At that point, it was replaced by the both Confucian- and religion-free "Three Principles of the People" ideology, which then continued into the period of "Maoist Communism" and the establishment of the People's Republic of China in the 1950s and 1960s. When Mao and his government fell out of favor in the late 1970s, Confucianism made a slight comeback, but not like in the past.Down through the centuries, many controversies have surrounded Confucianism, ranging from governance, to Islam's influence on it, to how it thinks of and treats women, to how it should be classified, to how its texts should be translated, and more.Today, few claim to be "Confucian," and Confucianism is largely the purview of academia... often viewed more as adjunct to other secular belief systems (democracy, capitalism, etc.), and non-secular religions (Buddhism, mostly; and some Taoism; but also Islam and even Christianity).
How many people follow Legalism today?
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.
