 * Delete as this is weakly sourced and seems more like a persuasive essay to argue that he was Taoist. As it has been the subject of much debate (as has the religious beliefs of other people such as Adolf Hitler, Abraham Lincoln, and Barack Obama), I don't think this content fork is "unnecessary", but there isn't much currently here that can justify being kept.
