kind of. The philosophy of Chaung Tzu and Lao Tzu was not religious per say. Yes there were mythical elements especially in the Tao te Ching, but early Taoist philosophy has as much in common with anarchism as the later religious taoism
Religious or popular taoism developed much later. It was the result of blending with taoist ideas with folk belief, divination, geomancy and the like. Religious Taoism is the result of a kind of syncretism. Philosophical Taoism is Taoism in its purer form.

: I was wondering if anyone could explain to me exactly the difference between Religious and Philisophical Taoism. It seems that philisophical taoism is just the philosophy of Lao-Tzu and Chuang-Tzu minus all the ritual of Religious Taoism. Am I on the right track? Please help.
