6@sun@shitposter.world Calling a specific branch of Christianity bad implies that other branches are good. All organized religion is bad actually and only exists to divide us.
@SuperDicq @sun shinto ass nigga
@menherahair@eientei.org @sun@shitposter.world Shinto isn't as bad as most religions, as it's fully decentralized and it doesn't really impact daily life of people that much. I still don't actually believe in it though.
@SuperDicq @menherahair shinto was heavily utilized by the japanese government as a nationalistic state religion to justify racism and imperialism
@sun @SuperDicq @menherahair this is wrong. basically everything written about japanese shinto in english is wrong though so i dont blame you, but if you want to know more you will have to read about 神仏分離. japanese sources on 国家神道 contradict western 'state shinto' fiction.
i suggest not talking about this topic until youve learned more about meiji era history

@sun the spook of the 'national shinto religion' was used by the GHQ to purge japan of it's entirely secular civil service culture and replace it with american pyramid with eye culture.
for those with eyes it can be seen in nagatacho and in the new constitution.
