Is taoism one of biggest religions today?
No, it is not. Adherents number about 50 million, which is not many as religions go. There are actually a lot more people influenced by Taoism, and even who believe in it. But it is compatible with other belief systems to the extent that many people who believe have other religions. There are many Buddhists who are also Taoists, but call themselves Buddhists and not Taoists when asked. The same is true for Shintoists. There are even many Christians who are also Taoists.
What happens to Taoisms after life?
In a sense Taoism is not so much a religion as a philosophy that is usually imposed on other religions. Taoists have a rather unspecific idea of divinity and afterlife. Most Taoists are Buddhists, who believe in reincarnation. Many Taoists are adherents of Chinese Folk Religions who seem to share a believe in afterlife centering around spirits of the dead who are the ancestors one should worship. Other Taoists are members of other religions with other beliefs.
Do Taoists have any dietary laws that they should follow?
Many Taoists are strictly vegetarian in order to keep in line with the Tao, but a good number of Taoists are not vegetarian and this is not seen as an infraction of Taoist values. Alcohol is also generally not consumed. Other these two things, there are no major dietary laws or practices that Taoists follow.
