Detailed explanation-1: -Good is the default condition Shinto ethics start from the basic idea that human beings are good, and that the world is good.

Detailed explanation-2: -The overriding belief in Shinto is to promote harmony and purity in all aspects of life. Humans are thought of as being fundamentally good, and evil is caused by evil spirits. The purpose of Shinto, therefore, is to pray and offer to the kami to keep away evil spirits.
