The Hundred Schools of Thought (simplified Chinese: 诸子百家; traditional Chinese: 諸
子百家; pinyin: zhūzǐ bǎijiā; Wade–Giles: chu-tzu pai-chia; literally "all philosophers hundred schools") were philosophers and schools that flourished from 770 to 221 BC during the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period (春秋戰國時代/春秋战国时代), an era of great cultural and intellectual expansion in China.[1] Even though this period was fraught with chaos and bloody battles, it is also known as the Golden Age of Chinese philosophy because a broad range of thoughts and ideas were developed and discussed freely. This phenomenon has been called the Contention of a Hundred Schools of Thought (百家爭鳴/百家争鸣; bǎijiā zhēngmíng; pai-chia cheng-ming; "hundred schools contend"). The thoughts and ideas discussed and refined during this period have profoundly influenced lifestyles and social consciousness up to the present day in East Asian countries. The intellectual society of this era was characterized by itinerant scholars, who were often employed by various state rulers as advisers on the methods of government, war, and diplomacy. This period ended with the rise of the Qin Dynasty and the subsequent purge of dissent. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/undred_Schools_of_Thought)
So as you can see, in that era there is a lot of ideologist and different kinds of thoughts.
As influence by the Chinese culture, I was think the god is one of those ideologist. They have the high level think and logic, their goal is teaching people, also have special ability for making the mystery, because there were several style is doping out the future or the fate of one person.

Maybe they are not a hundred percent correct, but there must be some reason for them to survival to now thousands of years.
But there is a difference between Chinese ideologist and god, that is the god devote his life for the human and Chinese ideologist

    Qin Dinasty was one of seven Kingdoms which fought to reign over the Chinese empire around the 300BC. At this period, the king of the Zhou Dynasty was always the leader of the empire, but he could no more make no decision. The dynasty of Qin is one of the briefest but also one of the most important Chinese dynasties.

Some of the numerous feudal States lords adopted new methods of government. Placed on the West of the Chinese world, the State of Qin put into practice…

    China and India were two of the greatest classical civilizations in human history. They both possessed elaborate societal levels and castes that defined the way that their citizens lived, with India having an official caste system, while China had a pecking order of Lords, famer-peasants, and “mean” people. However, India was made up of diverse and unstable empires, while China was usually unified under a single ruler in a line of kings, making it a far more powerful and politically successful nation than India. We can analyze these two civilizations using their governments, religions, and cultures.…
