Christianity is a proselytising religion, whereas Taoism (or Daoism) is not. Christian missionaries have spread out across the world seeking converts and, when sufficiently dominant, Christian religious leaders actively suppress other religions. On the other hand, Taoism has, through most of the period it has coexisted with Buddhism and Confucianism, been content to coexist. Christianity has been marketed aggressively in China for centuries, with the result that perhaps five per cent of the population is now Christian, whereas Taoism has not actively sought converts outside China and would be considered unsuccessful if success is measured by conversions.
Both religions could be considered as successful according to their own standards. Christians measure success by the achievement of conversions, and in this Christianity is successful. Taoism measures its success more by the spiritual fulfilment of its followers.
Christianity has a strong missionary tradition which has facilitated its spread to various parts of the world. Additionally, Christianity's emphasis on a personal relationship with God and its monotheistic nature has resonated with many individuals. Taoism, on the other hand, has historically been more localized in China and has not actively sought converts outside of its cultural context.
It is estimated that around 12% of the Chinese population practices Taoism, but it is important to note that many people in China follow a mix of Taoism along with other beliefs such as Buddhism or Confucianism.
With around 2.4 billion adherents split into three main branches of Catholic, Protestant and Eastern Orthodox, Christianity is the world's largest religion
Christianity has more followers than Islam, with over 2 billion followers compared to approximately 1.9 billion followers of Islam.
One reason is that Christianity has been around longer than Islam, allowing more time to attract followers. Additionally, Christianity's spread through colonization and missionary work has led to wider global reach. Cultural and societal factors also play a role in the growth of each religion.
There are 15 towns that have more than 5000 people.
The primary difference is that Buddhism is polytheistic while Christianity is monotheistic.Buddhism teaches that by good acts, meditation, and developing enlightened wisdom, followers can achieve a rebirth in the heavens. This final goal of enlightenment is known as nirvana.Christians believe we receive salvation as a gift by God's grace and not of our works.
Taoism believes that the natural order, "Tao," is more important than the social order. Taoism emphasizes living in harmony with the natural flow of life and the universe rather than trying to control or manipulate it.
Primarily Buddhism, also Daoism and Confucianism (though these are more general cultural practices and less institutional/spiritual). The main religions are Buddhism and Christianity. The Christians in China are persecuted and meet in houses instead of church buildings, but there are an estimated 60 to 70 million Christians in China.
