The article downplays the influence of Taoism far too much -- true, as a form of organized/state /personal religion ( as practiced in Vietnam ) it's invisible and utterly non existent in Korea -- but, as an undercurrent in Korean thought and world view, Taosim is very central , ever present and very much a part of the psyche. True, it's far less noticebale than the more inflexible, conservative Confucianism that features in their society -- but Taoism is still a very central part of the Korean holistic-shamanistic vision of the world.

Anyone care to rewrite?
