Taoism, also known as Daoism, is an ancient Chinese philosophy and religion that has millions of followers worldwide. While it is difficult to determine the exact number of Taoist followers due to the fluid nature of religious affiliation in China and other countries, estimates suggest that there are around 12 million adherents globally. In China, Taoism is one of the five officially recognized religions, and it has a significant presence in other countries with Chinese communities, such as Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia. The number of followers can vary depending on how one defines a Taoist, as many people incorporate Taoist principles into their lives without formally identifying as Taoists.
