What is ancient China's religious beliefs and practices?

Answer 1

Religion in China has been characterized by pluralism since the beginning of Chinese history. The Chinese religions are family-oriented and, unlike Western religions, do not demand the exclusive adherence of members. Some scholars question the use of the term "religion" in reference to Buddhism and Daoism, and suggest "cultural practices" or "thought systems" as more appropriate names.[1] The questions of who should be called religious in China, and what religion or religions they should be called are up to debate. Generally, the percentage of people who call themselves religious in China have been the lowest in the world. Buddhism remains the largest organized religion in China since its introduction in the 1st century.

Answer 2

The Chinese were very practical, and many were atheists since B.C. But the major religions are Taoism, Buddhism. Confucian teachings are not really religious, and Chinese culture says nothing about religion, assuming a tone of ignorance.
