No, Confucianism is not a religion. It is a philosophical and ethical system emphasizing filial piety (responsibility to family) and the responsibilities of rulers and citizens, but it posits no gods or other supernatural beings, and no cosmology, two aspects generally present in religious beliefs.

i just remembered that it was a belief in China many years ago...our teacher said that it is Confucius who propagated the is belief...because Confucius believed that in this world, there is yin yang or good and bad...he propagated this belief to let people do their work with happiness and live with their religions peacefully..
these are just the things that i had remembered...i hope it helps you in your report...
Break a leg!!!
