The ideas preached in Confucianism are quite different from those found in traditional Western religions. In the philosophy of Confucius there is no God, no creative unity, much less temples or churches.

This doctrine is based on the search for the Tao, the harmony of life and the world. To achieve Tao, Confucianism lays the family as the foundation of a society in which all human beings live in harmony. This family begins with the rulers, who are to love the people as true parents, and ends with the subjects, who have a duty to be obedient and humble as children.
