Confucianism, Daoism, Legalism (and other schools of the 'Hundred Schools of Thought') all arose among the Chinese during the greatest period of disunity and strife the Chinese people had ever known - the Warring States period (approx. 475-221 BCE). At the time, there were seven major states (Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin) which competed for power, and the works of the intellectuals who served as advisors to the Dukes on the methods of government, war, and diplomacy were of such a high level that they easily entered into the realm of philosophy. Each one was a guide for the leader to follow and bring stability and unity to the land.

The chinese indoctrinate their people with four theories. One of them is that God does not exist.
