Friedrich Max Müller (1823-1900) was Anglo-German orientalist and comparative philologist. His studies in mythology led him to another field of activity in which his influence was more durable and extensive, that of the comparative science of religions.
“The Chinese idea of religion was evidently very different from our own. Religion was to them giving good advice, improving the manners of the people; and they seem to have thought that for such a purpose they could never have enough teachers and preachers.”
--F. Max Müller, The Religions of China
