Nope, since it has no gods to worship.

Confucianism is a philosophy of self cultivation, instead of a religion.

Agree with the 1st answer...

Nope. There are no gods to worship in Confucianism, so there cannot be days of worship.

Confucianism is more like...a secular set of ethics and morals.

No. It is merely a philosophy or a way of governing a nation. Back in the day, China REQUIRED future government officials to be schooled and tested in Confucius' teachings.

Confucianism (like Buddhism) is a secular philosophy, not a religion.

But if you would like to start a petition to demand a public holiday for secularists, I'll gladly sign it!
