Big questions:
What was Confucius indifferent about?
What did Confucius think was important?
Is Confucianism a religion or social practice?

    Confucius was one of the greatest people which affected and change China in some way.

Confucius was not indifferent about the fame and the interest in the mysteries of origins and

creations.

   Confucius thought that everyone in this world has their own positions when they were born, and

they meant to do the things for this position and only do their own things , also, low level people

should always follow the rules from the "High Level's", in addition, don't pretend that you know

everything, people should study what they are good at, different people study different things because

they don't have the same knowledge level.

    I think Confucianism is not really a religion but more like  a social practice, religion is something

that you have to believe in, but Confucianism is like a philosophy, people can have their own

opinions about and you don't have to 100% believe it. Confucianism is a thought that came from one

person and spread out into other people's mind when they have the same connections. And there's a

lot of ideas like Confucianism out there such as Taoist. They all are people's opinions about the world

and they all have their own followers. So I think Confucianism is a social practice.
