fr i got in a text joust with someone the other day over marxist interpretations of confucius and whether it can be called liberation theology, citing shit ripped off of baidu
Something left out of that conversation (last I checked) is that Confucianism is pretty clearly not a religion by any recognizable standard, but a collection of texts, attitudes, and social practices. It is connected to religious ideas about ancestors and such, but they aren't the same. Forgot your conversation was on a tangent about Taoism, which is popularly religious.
Also creating a third term to describe the broader genre instead of slapping the Christian name on everything is probably a good call.
also rookie hours, real leftist walls of texts involve 7000+ comments and edits
And 500 citations each pointing to a more obscure work than the last.
