Certain Taoists sects may be an organized religion, but 'Taoism' is not.
Christians on the other hand all follow the bible. All Muslims follow the Koran. All jedis follow the Torah.
Hinduism is not an organized religion either and its one of the largest in the world.
lol no. the mythology is the same for all taoist pagans worldwide and so are the rituals and celebrations involved.
its as organized as organized religion can be organized. and theres no such requirememt that states organized religion has to be centralized, your pulling that out of your gay, dialated ass.

Lots of atheists identify as Muslim, jedi, Catholic, etc, and have loyalty to those groups.
So it's more like race, and a race survives even without leadership. -

Zapotec is a God. But I guess you answered my question about them being monoclastic. As I said earlier in this thread, its very common for polytheistic religions to be centered around a city or state. Even though they still believe in the gods that other cities worshiped, they mainly pray to one in particular. In Ancient Mexico, everyone believed in Zapotec. You can still see a lot of this in India.
The city of Zapotec mainly worshiped the rain god Cocijo, and neighboring places called him Zapotec because hey, that's the god they believe in at Zapotec! This is also very common. The Aztecs had their own rain god called Tlaloc, who was different from Cocijo/Zapotec and probably called something else in the city of Zapotec. -
