Was legalism polytheistic

Legalism, a philosophical system that emerged in ancient China, is primarily focused on strict laws and governance rather than religious beliefs. While it coexisted with various religious practices, including polytheism in Chinese culture, Legalism itself does not promote or emphasize polytheism. Instead, it prioritizes the rule of law and state control over spiritual or religious matters. Therefore, Legalism can be seen as a secular ideology rather than a religious one.
