Why do I think Confucianism is not a religion

A few days ago, a friend from Mexico said that he believed Confucianism was a religion.

I told him I didn't think so and gave him a few reasons.

First, there are no Supernatural Beliefs.

Confucian thoughts do not rest on belief in supernatural deities. Confucius himself focused on earthly matters, emphasizing moral ethics and social responsibility rather than supernatural intervention. He once taught his disciples to keep away from ghosts and gods and keep the right way in mind.

While Confucian practices include ancestor worship, these are more about respect for ancestors and societal order than divine worship.

为什么我觉得儒家不是宗教

前几天,一位来自墨西哥的朋友说,他相信儒教是一种宗教。

我告诉他我不这么认为,并给了他一些理由。

首先,没有超自然信仰。

儒家思想并不以信仰超自然的神灵为基础。孔子本人关注世俗事务,强调道德伦理和社会责任,而不是超自然的干预。他曾经教导他的弟子远离鬼神,保持正道。

虽然儒家的实践包括祖先崇拜,但这些更多的是对祖先和社会秩序的尊重,而不是对神的崇拜。
