Default Has the religion of Confucianism fall down and not be practiced anymore right now?

Explain to me. Plus is Lao-Tu thought of as a God or deity by some Daoist practice rs?
It can be classified as a religion

Confucianism is not a religion, it is a moral and philosophical creed.

Confucianism was heavily suppressed in Communist China for decades. A sort of modernized Confucianism may emerge as China liberalizes in years to come. We'll have to wait and see.

Lao-Tzu was a philosopher and many modern Taoists may view him as simply that. However, he is sometimes described as part of a triad called the "Three Pure Ones" who are regarded as deities by at least some Taoists.

No. There are two movements, known as Noe-Confucianism and New Confucianism, about which i know little but which influence society in the Far East. They are effectively forms of political conservatism.

Laozi (the Pinyin version of the name) is seen as a deity in popular Daoism as opposed to intellectual Daoism. The kind of Daoism well-known in the West is of the intellectual variety, but popular Daoism is widespread in the Far East.

Hi' Murad, There is very few people belongs to Tao-Tu, Mahavira, Buddha & Diojenis. Every ware and in every field these Confucianism is dancing, can't you see, they are every ware around you and me, who are the communist, they might have Meany different names, but all are the followers of Confucius. And there is no need of classification of religions because all religions are the cages. If you understand Lao-Tu. Thanks & Regards.
