Yes Shinto is its own distinct religion. Indigenous to Japan focuses on the the balance of kami or invisible spiritual force. The most recognizable aspect of Shinto is by far the red cross beam arch that marks a shrine.

Well, Shintoism doesn't have a founder, any important people, or any sacred texts. They believe in kamis which are spirits that are in everything, from trees to rocks to even people after they die. It is one of the oldest religions in the world, at 2,500 years old, about (established in 500 B.C.).

It has some similarities to Christianity but without the all important salvation and overt compassion for others. The Shinto believers believe in respect and Christians believe in compassion and respect.
