Freedom of Religion and Beliefs


         Kublai Khan had made a good choice by granting everyone the right to choose there own religion. Kublai tolerated other religions as long as they didn’t conflict with his own beliefs and interest. Kublai and his favorite wife Chabi were Buddhist, and his mother was Christian, she encouraged Kublai to be open-minded. It was good that Kublai was tolerant of other religions and beliefs because this saved a lot of rebellion and fights. This was good because if he forced any type of religion on the Literati and outsiders who came to China they would have rebelled. Muslims were allowed to worship as they wished and Daoism was still a strong influence in all classes of Chinese society. This helped everyone stay at peace and harmony and allowed everyone to lead their own lifestyle and living. This is why Kublai Khan had made a good choice by granting everyone to chose there own religion.
