Religion in Asia

In reading the text, I found out how many religions were represented in Asia. From Confucianism to Daoism, many religions can be found in Asia. What was really interesting was that Judaism could have been found in Asia. Sure, it was a small part but you don't normally put those two things together. An interesting aspect of the reading was of how Confucianism played a big part in the culture of China even in the 21st century. This explains many practices that the Chinese had that I did not understand like the favoring of boys over girls in their one child policy. The hard working and self-improvement tenets of Confucianism can be seen in the fast economic growing pace in Asian countries. Overall, it is fascinating how so many religions can shape the cultures of so many nations even today.
