there are no Confucian deities and no teachings
about the afterlife. Confucius himself was a
staunch supporter of ritual, however, and for many
centuries there were state rituals associated with
Confucianism. Most importantly, the Confucian
tradition was instrumental in shaping Chinese
social relationships and moral thought. Thus even
without deities and a vision of salvation,
Confucianism plays much the same role as religion
does in other cultural contexts. The founder of
Confucianism was Kong Qiu (K'ung Ch'iu), who
was born around 552 B.C.E. in the small state of Lu
and died in 479 B.C.E. The Latinized name
Confucius, based on the honorific title Kong Fuzi
(K'ung Fu-tzu), was created by 16th-century Jesuit
missionaries in China. Confucius was a teacher to
sons of the nobility at a time when formal
education was just beginning in China.
