mercedo wrote today at 2:43 AMWikipaedia articles related to Confucius, Confucianism states clearly that this thought is based on non-religious secular ethics, morals and I think so too.
Of course any thoughts have religious aspects, but especially when it comes to Confucianism there's very scarce point that is regarded as 'religious'. Perhaps the term 'mandate of heaven' is religious if any. But it's too weak for us to call Confucianism a religion only pointing to this one point.
The term 'religion' is used in 'religion' in Western values. Please examine again thoroughly to exclude any thoughts that is unnecessary for us to 'believe firmly'.
