> Wouldn't both a Buddhist and a believer in Shintoism tend to answer no to "belief in God"? Shintoism == believe in many "gods" or spirits, but not one singular "God". +1 on the "superstition" points here. Source: my wife is Japanese. Also, I've seen "Spirited Away" more times than I care to say.

I’m not sure Shinto involves “beliefs” (though I never asked), it’s more like a set of cultural rituals like Christmas.
