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.
Many sect shinto groups are members of the Kyoha Shinto Rengokai (Jiao Pai Shen Dao Lian He Hui , 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.
