The Supreme Clarity Temple and Northern Emperor Temple played very important roles in Taoism's spread to Macao. Continuing the topic……

The purpose of the Macau Confucianism Organization is to "respect Confucianism, spread the holy virtue, educate the talented, promote the culture". They started a school to teach them this motto and its meanings with different Confucian books, such as “Mencius” Still Continuing……

  13. There are other religions in these two regions apart from the ones shown, such as : Islam, Falun Gong and WAV(Vodun/voodoo). • Also there are some people who are weirdly believing in the religion of Mayan, which is one of the dead races in this world. Others that caught our sight

  14. Most people in Macau believed in the religion of Buddhism due to the people in early China and early Macau, but there are at least 45 per- cent of people who believed in different kinds of religion, such as Christian, Roman Catholic, because the missionaries came to Macau due to the different laws of China doesn’t allow it, due to the laws for the people of different countries does not allow foreigners to come to HKSAR or Guangdong. Data collected from Macau

  15. Do you know what history changes or creates your own religion • 1: Yes, Martin Luther King does not agree with the normal teaching, that’s why he proposed that Christian learning is much better. • 2: Yes, I know that this religion started 2000 years ago by the romans and the missionaries that are sent by God Lord. Answers from the questionnaire

  16. “They do not respect the religion like in the old days.” One old interviewee said,” They do not respect the gods like their ancestors; they just say the oath of the gods and go along without respecting them.” He also said that in the present day, if god was on land, he will personally banish them himself. A dialogue from the interviews

  17. 1. I am a carefree person, I do not care about this religion and I certainly do not want to know about its history in Macau or in HKSAR. • 2.Even if my school is a Taoism School, I do not want to know or learn about it, they are quite boring and they only talk about Confucius, which only involves history, which is only spoken in China History. • 3. Since the Law didn’t forbid us to not choose a religion, so I would go this way as well without any regret or remorse to think or to do. But I still hate this religion because even though I study in a Taoism school in HK, I do not like the culture and its traditions • 4. No, because if it is Taoism or Buddhism, they have to ring a lot of annoying bells or speak a lot of unknown and loud languages; even though that Christian is much better, they still cause a lot of chaos on the streets with their loudspeakers. An interview with an anti-Taoism

  18. Similarities : • All religion came from China, Portugal and America • The laws for religious events and choice of religion are on the same principle- the Diocese of Macau and the treaty of the Special Administrative Region • There are many religious- themed or related activities, arguments and treaties in these two locations. • The two regions’ governments both respected religion with great passion The similarities and differences of religion between MACAU and HKSAR

  19. Differences • Since Macau is the first city that started religion such as Protestantism Christian and Roman Catholic, so there are more different churches and cemeteries in Macau than Hong Kong that stored information of the history of religion. • The graves of the most famous people in religious history are most buried in Macau because according to history, Macau is also the “City of God”, which has a long line of the word religion behind it, in which that Hong Kong has no history of religion apart from Buddhism
