Detailed explanation-1: -"Shinto gods” are called kami. They are sacred spirits which take the form of things and concepts important to life, such as wind, rain, mountains, trees, rivers and fertility.
Detailed explanation-2: -Kami is the Japanese word for a deity, divinity, or spirit. It has been used to describe mind, God, supreme being, one of the Shinto deities, an effigy, a principle, and anything that is worshipped.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shintoism too is similar to that form and belief system in Hinduism. Ancestors are considered Kami too and just as we worship and follow the system of gotras (descendents of Rishis), they worship their ancestors.
Detailed explanation-4: -Shinto teaches important ethical principles but has no commandments. Shinto has no founder. Shinto has no God. Shinto does not require adherents to follow it as their only religion.
