There are five major religions/philosophies in China: Taoism, Confucianism,
Buddhism, Islam and Christianity. Among them, Taoism and Confucianism
are uniquely Chinese. The other three were later imports.
The two major indigenous systems of thought in China, Confucianism and
Taoism, arose at about the same time in the 5 BC. Neither was originally
a religion. Confucianism emphasized a reiteration of current moral values
and Taoism developed a system of based upon a harmonization of man with
the natural order. These two popular philosophies, however, developed
into popular religions eventually.
Besides the major religions, ancestor worship and animism also have strong
support in China. Chinese people are very pragmatic, worshipping gods
that might answer their prayers. A lot of rich people used to support
several kinds temples, not unlike the donations to both Republican and
Democratic parties by wealthy individuals and corporations in the States.
