Unlike religions like Islam and Christianity, Shintoism does not have a sacred scripture or a founder.
The Shinto shrines are a place for worship and is the home of Kami. There aren't any Shinto cemeteries, and most funerals are held in Buddhist style. Also most weddings ceremonies are held in the Shinto style.]]> 2017-10-26 17:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200944073 gowri_shamsundar2021 https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200944519 2017-10-26 17:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200944519 gowri_shamsundar2021 https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200945613 2017-10-26 17:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200945613 gowri_shamsundar2021 https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200947548 2017-10-26 17:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200947548 gowri_shamsundar2021 https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200949566 2017-10-26 17:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200949566 gowri_shamsundar2021 https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200950813 Entrance into sacred shrines]]> 2017-10-26 17:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200950813 gowri_shamsundar2021 https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200953571 2017-10-26 17:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/200953571 https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/201438467 https://www.britannica.com/topic/Shinto

When the Shinto religion was harnessed for political and ideological purposes in the 19th century, during a time of rapid national development, life was made very difficult for other religions such as Buddhism. The post-war Constitution of 1946 provided for the equality of all religions under the law and the separation of religion, in particular Shinto, from the state. Since then, however, there have been a series of politically controversial questions, one of the most important being that of the legal status of Yasukuni Shrine, a Shinto institution, at which the war dead are commemorated.]]> 2017-10-29 22:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/201543422 https://padlet.com/karyn_huang2021/vqsov9culgav/wish/201546191 https://sites.google.com/site/sintoismjapan/artifact
The  situation that conflicts with Shintoism is when spacecraft is sent to the moon. For it is believed ,by those who participate in Shinto practices, that it tampers with the moons "balance and natural rhythm." Also, after World War II, Japan was introduced to Western religion  and culture calling for additions to a more modern government that still retained Shinto values with giving the emperor some   political power.
