How many people In Canada or elsewhere believe in Confucianism?

answer... source.. 10 Pt's first answer with good source
for what ever reason it took the (#, number) out... so can you send the total number. You don't have 2 believe in Confucianism 2 enter :P
"There are approximately 6 million Confucians in the world. About 26,000 live in North America; almost all of the remainder are found throughout China and the rest of Asia."

I wouldn't call myself a Confucianist (?) But I do agree with a family-centric society.

I don't think they take polls on Philosophy,

How about Rodism? I hear that fits it well.

I wouldn't even know how to find out how many people follow Confucius' teachings. Interesting question though.

You may find more answers if you go to the Philosophy section

Good Luck.

Confucianism, is hugely influential in Asia, it directly affects the day to day philosophy of more than one third of the world or more. It is enjoying a massive upswing in the PRC at the moment.

It is a philosophical path rather than a religion, like the Dao or Buddhism.

I have seen no figures for the numbers of it`s adherents in Canada, but it`s influence is manifold.
