Through a period of persecution and assimilation, however, much of the Buddhist traditions and writings were translated into Taoist terminology -- incorporating such elements as vegetarianism, banning alcohol, meditation, and the path toward enlightenment. Since the relaxation of bans on religion, most surveys believe that about 50% of Chinese identify themselves with Buddhism, and many with both Buddhism and Taoism, seeing both as part of their cultural heritage.

After World War II, the People's Republic of China was established with a philosophical bent towards a Chinese interpretation of Marxism/Leninism. The idea of religion was that it was the "opiate of the masses." Religion was discouraged, but since Confucianism is both a philosophical and ethical system that focuses on the family and tradition, the government relaxed a bit and allowed more focus on philosophy -- Chinese Taoism which supports martial arts, astrology medicine, and social boundaries, tied up with acculturation of the teachings of Confucius. Buddhism and Confucianism do not necessarily consider themselves to be religions, but more philosophical paths to the right way, which allows less post-colonial pressure than standard religion. However, the historical and cultural tradition of religion remains strong in Asia based on Ancient culture.
