                         become full of anger.

1): What is the difference between a religion and a philosophy?
   
     Religion is something that you have to believe in, but philosophy is more like a knowledge thing,

and you can have your own opinions about it and argue it, you don't have to 100% believe it.

2): Confucianism and Legalism are philosophies, they're the thoughts and ideas that came from a

person and the person spread out their's opinions and later they started to have followers, they are the

ideas about society. Buddhism and Taoism are religions, they appeared with no reasons and have a lot

of followers that those who are the followers must believe in their religions.
