Is the popular Chinese yin-yang symbol a symbol of Avodah Zarah?

 

If I have toys that have it on them, must I destroy them? Can I draw it on a paper?

 

Answer:

From my understanding it represents a philosophy and not a religion. And although there is a religion that adopted this philosophy as part of the religion, it does not turn the philosophy into Avodah Zarah, definitely not the symbol. This is in addition to the fact that even the above mentioned “religion” is more a philosophy than a religion and does not necessarily have Avodah Zarah.
