In the study of comparative religion, the East Asian religions (also known as Far Eastern religions or Taoic religions) form a subset of the Eastern religions. This group includes Confucianism, Shinto, Taoism, and elements of Mahayana Buddhism; as well as new religious movements such as I-Kuan Tao (Yiguandao), Chen Tao, Cao Đài, Hòa Hảo, Chondogyo, and Jeung San Do.
