    is it anything religion?
    dont think so
    religion is about beliefs,you can believe anything they have a different logic
    you cant say Muslims arent wise since they dont drink alcohol,or Christians are better because they do drink
    its what you believe not what you think
    Let me refer you to a piece of a Wiki article:

    In the book, Sun Tzu uses language that may be unusual in a Western text on warfare and strategy. For example, the 11th chapter states that a leader must be "serene and inscrutable" and capable of comprehending "unfathomable plans". The text contains similar remarks that have confused Western readers. The meaning of such statements are clearer when interpreted in the context of Taoist thought and practice. Sun Tzu viewed the ideal general as an enlightened Taoist master, which has led to The Art of War being considered a prime example of Taoist strategy.[6] The Art of War is distinguished from similar Western works, such as Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz's On War, by this spiritual dimension. Awareness of the Taoist viewpoint in The Art of War is essential to understanding its intended meaning.[7]

    Edit: Okay, now I really will drop this line of debate. I concede the title of "Wisest" on this forum to Rota.

    Special Props To Don Ezio for this!

    In war, victory. In peace, vigilance. In death, sacrifice.
