Detailed explanation-1: -In one way or another, discourses of animism invariably occur in reference to Shinto, the ‘vast and many-sided’ indigenous substratum of Japanese popular religion (Maraini, 1983: 52).
Detailed explanation-2: -Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism are considered the “three pillars” of ancient Chinese society. As philosophies and religions, they not only influenced spirituality, but also government, science, the arts, and social structure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some prominent rocks are worshiped as kami. In contrast to many monotheistic religions, Shinto does not have absolutes. There is no absolute right and wrong, and nobody is perfect. Shinto is an optimistic faith, as humans are thought to be fundamentally good, and evil is believed to be caused by evil spirits.
