Confucianism is still practiced today. It is an ethical and philosophical system of values developed by the Chinese philosopher Confucius. At its roots, this system stresses education for people's moral development. In that way, States can be governed by virtue rather than by laws.

Many Taoists do worship Gods, most of them being Chinese folk Gods. It's important to understand that in China, people do not simply practice one religion but practice several intermingled together. Honestly to get a satisfactory answer you may have to discern which tradition of Taoism you speak of, because practiced Taoism has many different flavors. Looking at the Tao te Ching itself, there isn't necessarily a 'God' that is worshiped. Tao itself can be said to be similar to a God, but there's a few key differences from your standard deity including an impersonality in regards to the human race, with humans just another facet of existence and not anything held up on a pedestal. It's more of the underlying reality and patterns of nature than it is any type of personification humans can relate to like most deities tend to be.

It depends, if the senior citizen is Charles Manson, not much...respect is not meant to be automatically gifted to one simply for being around a while, it is a measure of endearment to one who has earned it. At that point it is entirely subjective, some choose to give discounts, work-related favors, or simply devote a little time each week to talk with them. It it ultimately up to you.

Typical Taoist (or, Daoist) traditions include the general commitment to action through non-action: allowing conditions or activities to evolve until a desired end is achieved. Simplicity of thought and life-style is another key idea (and tradition) in Taoism. Various martial arts traditions are also distinctly Taoist, such as T'ai Chi Ch'uan.

The taoism symbol is a black and white symbol of the 2 moving in a circle around with each other, with a little bit of each color on its own inside the other. Black and white represent yin and yang (good and evil), and the pattern shows that they are in balance with each other. Trace amounts of them are found within each other, showing that no matter how good something is, it has some evil in it, and vice-versa.

Taoism have different types of holidays which are quiet similar to other religons.

Because there are debates over the definition of Taoism and whether it should be divided into categories of religious, philosophical, and folk following, it is difficult to estimate the number of followers. According to Wikipedia, there may be as many as 20 million followers of Taoism world-wide.

They were both founded around the same time in China(in fact, the founders of both religions apparently knew one another). The difference between them is, Confucianism is all about man's relationship with his fellow man, while Taoism is all about man's relationship with nature.

Taoists do not "pray" in the sense of common religious prayer. Taoists have nothing to pray to, and no reason to pray. Common religious prayer is a way of feeling compassion and forgiveness, and sending healing energy toward a person. Taoists pray by directly feeling compassion and forgiveness for people. Taoists have enough control over their bodies and mind that they can do this whenever they want to without interfering with daily life. Since feeling compassion and forgiveness is helpful at most times on most levels, Taoists do it very often. Additionally, Taoists have developed powerful ways to energetically heal people, making the healing effects of prayer useless. This is not to say that common religious prayer is bad. For common religiuos people, it is actually an acceptable way to feel compassion and forgiveness, and make good things happen. Taoists simply have much better ways of doing it.

Taoism and Islam are vastly different. Taoism worships a pantheon of gods, while Islam worships only one God. Taoism teaches reincarnation, with hope of becoming an immortal after a number of lifetimes. Islam teaches that when each person dies, his or her soul goes to heaven or hell.

What both religions share is that they teach high moral values.

to connect with the Tao.

First, the tao forms the world. It is "something" before existing, so it is "none exist". The material thing comes out from it, our thoughts come out from it. It is beyong everything, in everything. But we can "see it" if we follows the way Tao te Ching tell us.

No. Confucianism focuses on the respecting of elders and obeying of those who are of higher importance to one. Taoism is based off of the theory of negative and positive qi, and how to channel it. They relate to each other very little.

yes, there are many forms of Taoism but all together it is a religion.
Taoism is really more of an approach to living than a religion. It involves a balanced life, kindness, service, and cooperation, physical well-being, as well as spirituality. Some people are interested in the spirituality and read Taoist writings; some pursue the physical aspect and practice tai chi. What parts of Taoism to concentrate on is up to the individual.

No. Not only is there no dress code, but the principles of Taoism seem contrary to the idea. From a very simplistic point of view, Taoism prefers absence of regulation.

The Taoist Sage Zhuangzi wrote that, essentially, each way of life is natural because we are all a part of nature. Thus, any sexual orientation is usually seen by Taoists as natural.

Taoists are also often encouraged to be forward and open with their sexuality.

Additionally, the Taoist belief in the Yin and Yang also is meant to illustrate how distinctions between opposites (such as distinctions between "male" and "female") are fluid, and open to interpretation. Therefore, all points on the gay-straight continuum are supported by Taoist philosophical thought.

While there are, in fact, some Taoists who interpret a passage in the Hua Hu Ching to mean that people who indulge in homosexual relationships cannot achieve a meaningful Way (I do not recall, offhand, what this particular passage is), overall, Taoists mainly support homosexuality and LGBT rights.

I myself am a bisexual Taoist.
