Confucianism is a religion and philosophy with many great qualities. The higher powers of Confucianism are your ancestral pasts and the Ti'en (Heaven). To believe in the Ti'en means to believe in the afterlife and divine goodness. Life after death is believed to be immaculate and indescribable to the human mind if you have embraced the true meaning of life. Otherwise, punishment is inevitable.
Basic beliefs of Confucianism are to believe that you are naturally good the way you are. Respect your elders because they are no doubt the wiser. As mentioned before, worship your ancestors so they can lead the path for you. Yet, you have to be willing to make these sacrifices. Education and learning is strongly emphasized in Confucianism. Have a good morale and be polite because the Yin and Yang will bring you balance and order.
The way Confucianism is organized is basically being grouped by ethnicity/nationality/race. Confucianism is divided within the ethnicity/races/nationalities, yet they all come together as one. Confucianism does not have a god, but Confucians still come together to worship. With a god, or without a god, Confucians are motivated to keep a good morale and lifestyle. These beliefs show a meaning in both true philosophy and true religion.
