Shinto is the ancient religion of Japan. Followers are followers of Shinto. However many Japanese follow other traditions for the pageantry - as an example many like the trappings of the Christian wedding ceremony and Christmas.

Combining the two makes follower of his/her religion a better adherent and tolerant of other faith.NovaNet --> Shinto is a more flexible religion, so it doesn't conflict with Buddhism.
