Best Answer

The Waswahili or Swahili People are predominantly MUSLIMS. It is worth noting that the majority of Swahili speakers are actually not Waswahilis themselves, but people who learned the language through trade or national governance. (This is the same way that, for example, far many more people speak English than just the descendants of England because of trade and governance.)

Is shintoism a universalizing or ethnic religion?

Shamanism is not a religion. It is a anthropological description of many religions that have some traits in common such as people who go into trance states and communicate or traveling or guide souls in or heal with the spirit world. There are many differences within each religion and to lump them together is to devalue their true meaning to the believers of these religions. They are not universalizing religions although as almost all religions they make universal claims about the nature of reality as they see it. Its more of a Ethnic religion that tried to link the spiritual realm with the physical world, so then that makes it also universalizing. Its both actually, but more of a ethnic religion.
