Probably Books saying that they didn't massacre the Chinese in Nanking, took women and forced them into prostitution, and perform cannibalism on American Soldiers.

They might have Bibles... Those Gideons really get around.

Shinto don't spread their "word",, and Non-Japanese are not supposed to take part of Shinto at all.

A Shinto temple doesn't exist to teach people the faith, or minister to them, it is built to honor a Kami. The priests do that without an audience..

Japan is very secular, and most Japanese say they are Agnostic when asked about religion. However, I saw a lot of well-maintained Shinto temples,, and new ones on top of office buildings. That's an awful lot of shrines to religion no one practices any more.

Yes, copies of the Kojiki and Nihongi are usually found in the drawer, crushed to death by one whoppingLyassive phone book.
