what do you know about shinto and buddhism?

I'm a catholic and i don't know anything about those two religions,
please answer this question seriously.



thanks for your time!

Buddhism is a search for enlightenment. A Buddha is an enlightened one. Aside from a couple of sects in Japan Buddha is not a God. In fact you can pray to any God you wish and still be an Buddhist.

If I'm not mistaken Shinto is an off shoot sect of Buddhism.

they dint believe the Trinity....go ogle this
kingdom of the cults

Shinto is an ancient Japanese religion. Starting about 500 BCE (or earlier) it was originally "an amorphous mix of nature worship, fertility cults, divination techniques, hero worship, and shamanism." 4 Its name was derived from the Chinese words "shin Tao" ("The Way of the Gods") in the 8Th Century CE. At that time:

The Yamato dynasty consolidated its rule over most of Japan.
Divine origins were ascribed to the imperial family.
Shinto established itself as an official religion of Japan, along with Buddhism.

The complete separation of Japanese religion from politics did not occur until just after World War II. The Emperor was forced by the American army to renounce his divinity at that time.

Unlike most other religions, Shinto has no real founder, no written scriptures, no body of religious law, and only a very loosely-organized priesthood.

Shinto was the main religion of japan then in the 3rd or 4Th century Buddhism came along now most pl in japan have a mix of the two.

WNW.sacred-text.com has thousands of works on nearly every religion that is practiced.
