Answer

Religious beliefs of Mongols:

Mongols had deep faith in religion.
They worshipped the main deity, Tengzi, i.e. the Sun God and believed him to be omnipotent.
In order to please their deity they used to perform animal sacrifices.
They (Mongolian, people of Mongol) used to show special respect for holy religious man called 'Shamans'.
Genghis Khan believed that destiny has ordained royalty for mongers. Therefore, it is a religious obligation for the Mongol to bring more and more regions under their direct suzerainty.
Mongols were secular in nature and followed the policy of religious tolerance. They allowed the people to respect their religion with full liberty.
The recruitments under the Mongols were made only on merit basis and religion had no role to play in it.

The Examination System
Entry to the elite ruling class (about 1.1 million till 1850) had been largely through an examination. This required writing an eight-legged essay (pa-ku wen) in classical Chinese in a prescribed form. The examination was held twice every three years, at different levels and of those allowed to sit only 1-2 per cent passed the first level, usually by the age of 24, to become what was called 'beautiful talent'. At any given time before 1850 there were about 526,869 civil and 212,330 military provincial (sheng-yuan) degree holders in the whole country. Since there were only 27,000 official positions, many lower-level degree holders did not have jobs. The examination acted as a barrier to the development of science and technology as it demanded only literary skills. In 1905, it was abolished as it was based on skills in classical Chinese learning that had, it was felt, no relevance for the modern world.
