SHINTO
• Nature-Centric and Indigenous Religion
• The name Shinto is derived from two words Shin (kami or
gods) and to (or do, path)
• The name Shinto therefore means “ The kami way” or more
colloquially, “The way of the Gods”
• Shinto does not recognize any book as its authoritative
scriptures, focusing instead on temple worship and the
maintenance of the beauty of nature.
