| | Taoist belief is often intertwined with both Buddhism and traditional folk religions. | | | Because many Chinese belief systems have concepts of a sacred and sometimes spiritual world yet do not invoke a concept of God, classifying a Chinese belief system as either a religion or a philosophy can be problematic. | | | Temples of many different religions dot the landscape of China, including Taoism, Buddhism, and Chinese folk religion. |

| | History of Chinese Religion - ReligionFacts |
| | China is one of the most ancient civilizations on earth, and Chinese religion is one of the oldest forms of religion. | | | Today, Chinese religion is a complex mix of Chinese folk religion, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Communist anti-religious sentiment. | | | The rituals of the state religion were initially addressed to the Five Elements (fire, water, earth, wood, and metal), the Supreme Unity, and the Lord of the Soil, but in 31 BCE these cults were replaced by sacrifices dedicated to Heaven and Earth. |

| | The Christian Attitude Toward Non-Christian Religions |
| | Though we are to reject the religion, we are not to reject them by mistakenly perceiving them to be "the enemy." The biblical injunction is to love our neighbors as much as we love ourselves no matter what their religion. | | | They might say that religion is the expression of man's fear of the overwhelming forces of nature, or of his desire to overcome death. | | | These may be more scarce in religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. |
