Confucianism is not a religion, it's a philosophy. It doesn't have a god. The religions of the time were predominantly Buddhism, and ancestor worship. I can't remember if Daoism was a religion or philosophy. I'm thinking the latter. If you really want to know more go to wiped.DOAey should have info on Confucianism and links to other related topics.

there is no god in Confucianism, Confucianism isn't a relegation as much as it is a societal set of rules or beliefs?

There is no god with Confucianism. The religion teaches people to be virtuous, live happy with the universe, meditate, work together for society, there is goodness in each one of us, and ancestor worship. The religion is more a way of life than worshiping God.

He's called A, "Shang Di". They don't say much about him since the whole practice of Confucianism is concerned with the conduct of daily life, but he is to be honored along with the ancestors. The concept and the name predated Confucius.
