I am doing a project on Taoism and I need some answers.?

Questions:
Who is the founder of Taoism and in what year?
Who are the religious leaders in Taoism?
What is there place of worship?
Where did this religion begin?
What are the main beliefs of Taoism?
What are the sacred writings called?
How do they worship and practice beliefs?
What are the religious festivals?
What are the main symbol of Taoism?

Im not doing you homework but you should know that there is Taoist philosophy and Taoist religion.

The two are linked but you can follow the philosophy without practicing it as a religion.


Now go do your own research.

You might want to go ogle it or visit religious tolerance.com.
