Year 8 Humanities Medieval: Religion

Shinto Religion

The Shinto religion originated in Japan. It is not about believing and worshipping any specific god, but it does mean "way of the gods". These gods are referred to as "kami", sacred spirits of nature. There is no constructed outline of beliefs. The concepts are Purity, Harmony, Family Respect, and Subordination of the individual.
