The great religions of the 300-600 AD time period were able to form and establish themseleves due to the time period's relative peacefulness. There were not any major wars or conflicts that would distract regions or empires from socially developing. Thus, religions were able to establish themselves between the people, creating an overall united network of various relgions world wide. Aside from the ability for these religions to develop, it is important to note that religion is a practice that contains order and structure. Due to the lack of events during this 300 year period, it is probable that people wanted more structured lives in which they turned to religion. An interest in religion from a large group of people caused the development of the separate religions. These religions all have their routes from their development in the years of 300-600 AD.

I completely agree with Confucius. In this time without war or conflicts between different regions, a large majority of the people turned to religion to focus on. Religion quickly became a very important part of different cultures and societies, and they were given the opportunity to fully develop and thrive. Because the people in a region were not united by war, they were able to find a uniting force in religion, and it quickly became a way for societies to attain structure. Religion also gave the people of this time period something or someone to believe in. I do, however, also believe that the Silk Road created an outlet for religion to spread. Without it, religion would not have become as expansive and critical to this time period as it became because of the Silk Road.
