True оr fаlse: We knоw thаt Cоnfucius wаs personally a religious man who believed in God and believed that he had a divine calling to teach the truth (as encapsulated in his personal philosophy). However, it is said that Confucious did not encourage his followers to believe in God. His reasoning for this was that he felt that focusing on the next life would lead one to neglect what should be the focus of this life (i.e., the development of a moral character). According to Confucious, if you become ethical, moral, or a superior person in this life, heaven will take care of itself. And this is said to be why he didn’t teach much about God.
