About this document

Taoism: Monotheism vs. Polytheism by Ryan Reed is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Taoism has both polytheistic and philosophical aspects. Religious Taoism is polytheistic in nature, worshipping immortals rather than gods. Philosophical Taoism is more agnostic, viewing the Tao as a principle of the universe rather than an anthropomorphic god. Traditional Chinese religion is also polytheistic, with a hierarchy of deities that mirror the imperial bureaucracy and can rise or fall based on their actions. Major Taoist holidays include Chinese New Year, Lantern Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival
