The Chinese civilization has hosted a variety of religious and philosophical traditions. Confucianism, Taosim and Buddhism have played a huge role in shaping Chinese culture. There are no clear boundaries between these intertwined religious systems. Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism, Protestantism and Islam are the religions formally recognized by the Chinese government.
