There are numerous likenesses and differences between religious conventions in this period. For instance, a few religions, for example, Hinduism were polytheistic while others, for example, Zoroastrianism were monotheistic. Confucius featured the significance of education, while Daoism was against it; some had their prophets or divinely guided figures (Confucius) while some did not (Hinduism). Nonetheless, they all had some composed record clarifying their thoughts; "analects", "vedas", "upanishads", and so forth. They all had a divine being from which they believe their religion originated, “God”.
