A member of Sectarian Shinto is likely to also worship at a shrine associated with Shrine Shinto. Japanese immigrants in other countries have brought Shinto with them, but they are few in number. Efforts have been made to increase the knowledge of and respect for Shinto in the international community. We are here to honor the kami, who can be deities, or familial anscestors. We are also here to purge ourselves from evil spirits.
Humans are fundamentally good, but evil spirits do exist.
The rituals performed in Shinto shrines, and in the home, are intended to both honor the kami, and to purify oneself from the influence of evil spirits. Talismans play an important role in this as well. Death is considered evil, and Shinto does not have rituals for dealing with death and funerals. Instead, all of these tend to be Buddhist rituals. There is little established scripture in Shinto.
