Sect Shinto

is a type of Shinto group that was legally excluded from State Shinto. Sect shinto groups have more developed belief systems than Shrine Shinto which focuses more on rituals.景山春樹 「神道」『世界大百科事典』 219頁。

Many sect shinto groups are members of the Kyoha Shintō Rengōkai (教派神道連合会, Association of Sectarian Shinto).

They were originally managed by the Bureau of Shinto Affairs which itself became a sect called Shinto Taikyo, a descendant of the Taikyo Institute

Tenrikyo used to be considered a Sect Shinto group, but is now considered another religion.Fukaya, Tadamasa, "The Fundamental Doctrines of Tenrikyo," Tenrikyo Overseas Mission Department, Tenri-Jihosha, 1960, p.2
