Most Important Belief
Confucians believe that respecting one another and strong government is very important.
Why They Believe That
They believe that because Confucius (who they worship) said to treat others how you wish to be treated. Confucius also said to respect others. "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself." (Golden rule) -Confucius
Why Confucians Want To Follow Their Belief's Teachings (In my opinion)
In my opinion, I think that Confucians followed Confucius partly due to his profile.
How Extremists Justify Their Actions Against Nonbelievers
They are no examples of extremists in this religion because their god did not believe in violence. "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves." - Confucius. "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself." - Confucius. "When anger rises think of the consequences." -Confucius.
