[Just mindless rambling 1]

When the values of Confucianism are being practiced, the acts perform will be very similar to faithful followers of the Christianity and Islamic faith. However, the most fundamental different Confucianism and Abrahamic religions is that Confucianism believed in the ultimate perfection of Man by its own without any divine help. Man do good due to goodness within. All one have to do is to realize the goodness in himself and just do goodness without asking for anything(The downfall to this, is an lack of explanation to the fallibility of Man). In contrast to the final judgment that decides who goes to heaven and hell, they have the "judgment of history" where time and future judgment determine whether you continue to live on through people's memories. If generations after generation remembers you and respect you for eternal, you are eternal. That is one reason why Chinese's deity are often Man that can be traced in history and empathise heavily on remembering your ancestors.
