Gods
Taoists were polytheistic ; they believed in many gods. There are gods for mostly everything ; from walls to frying pans. One of the gods was She. She is the god of land. Another god was Hou Ji ; he was the god of agriculture. Some gods Taoist's worship are "borrowed" from other religions. Taoists also worship sun, moon, stars and tides.
Tao
Taoists mainly worship Tao. Tao is the main god. Tao was not a person either. Tao cannot be touched, heard, seen or felt. Tao is too complicated for the mind to understand. Tao means the "way." Taoists worship Tao to go with the "way" of life. Tao is mostly nature because Taoists practice going with the "way" of life.
afterlife
Death for Taoists was not jeopardized. Death was simply from human being to non-human being. Death was not to be feared or desired. Taoists didn't believe in heaven or hell. They believed in the physical and spiritual world. When Taosts die, they turn into the "ultimate reality."
